MFM FREE MAPS are a threat to his money making hobby ( ). That's why he claimed he hold the copyright to the maps.

Hung cheng pie, dun break his rice bowl

Bro singawon, no body is trying to break anybody's rice bowl. We just want to get the fact right.

Gentlemen... Please... While the parties concerned are looking into the matter to ascertain if there is at all, any wrong-doing or mis-understanding on either parties, surely we are above the snide remarks and senseless accusations?

As it has been stated in earlier posts in this thread, indeed there have been contributors of raw data being submitted to the authors of BOTH Singapore maps respectively authored by the parties concerned. How the authors tweak the contributed raw data, whether through to Google Earth or "eye-ball averaging", it is totally up to these tireless cartographers.

I guess, as end-users mainly, who have reaped the countless benefits of the maps in question, we should not stoke and fan the ambers of unhealthy competition and dis-trust. Being conceited now isn't going to solve and relief the seething tension we have between MSM and MFM. Although I would agree that nothing lasts forever, including the monopoly of an incredibly detailed auto-routable digital map of Singapore, which, as early as 5-years ago was non-existent or rudimentary at best, one cannot blame Jerome for being so protective and getting so worked up over any sign of, no matter how small or insignificant, copyright infringements. It was and still his pet project; his "baby" for crying out loud...

I urge all of you to practise some self-control and moderation, and hope you can all try to understand where I am coming from. I am sure that if we conduct ourselves in such a way that we maintain the moral high ground, we will come out of this episode so much better and stronger.



BR,
w a y

Jerome pet project is 5 years old. So he cannot be blamed for being over-protective. But spare some feeling for bro OngCC and Fancheng who mapped and remapped most of SG's road only to be accused of copying

But I think we must do check MFM Singapore map since Bro J already mentioned that he caught us copy his easter egg, that mean that thing cannot be found in the real world or submitted track by tracker, it just been created by mapper to protect his work...

... from the evident, it is clearly the copyright claim is void!!!
like what alyem said "... it is the members who help each others to form a BIG MFM maps." so no single individual should claim that the whole maps is belong to him...
In this regards, my fullest support and credit for bro Anthony, OngCC and Fancheng! and ntf to the whole MFM community!

Keep up and stand high bro!!!! you are the and

Does the rotten egg prove anything? Can you discount the possibility of him creating one and send one here?

Yes he can created it, other Jerome map user also can help to confirm if that easter egg was not there before... I'm not accusing but just give my own opinion and suggestion in this free world... as a free man...
