Terrible analogy. Returning the shopping cart is expected behavior of user as expressed by the grocery store. Expected user behavior as expressed by OSM is that you can use the data as you please, even for profit, and if you alter the data, you need to share that data back. That’s it. YOUR desired behavior for users of OSM’s data (open sourcing any app that uses it) really has no bearing. You aren’t the licensor and you have no say. Why do you feel as though you should get to impose your dogma on OSM’s data product?
