So meta of me to find this on Hacker News! I run Map Happy, and yeah, we have a syndication relationship with BI. Thanks for being so kind to link back to the original piece... though it would have been nice to see our site headlined instead of the BI piece. :)

Obviously, there are a lot of strategic PR rationales behind it.

Since it's a full copy of the text, I'd imagine there is some business relationship involved, so we don't really know which one they would prefer being linked.
