OpenStreetMap started as a blank canvas before we made it. This isn't about some dataset you can freely pillage, it's about an open platform you can use to create our streetview.
That doesn't really address my comment, which was about the framing in the blog post. It's not an openly licensed Street View. It's not even an openly licensed Street Side (Bing). It isn't even close to an openly licensed Panoramio.
It has the potential, but framing sets expectations and mine were not met. This is feedback for the author and anyone around the project trying to come up with a pitch. Focus on what it could be, don't try to say it is something it isn't (yet).
