but as it depends much on the climate and surface material / vegatation /
ground it still has to be "adopted" to the local situation. The photos work
well in the UK / Germany, but
can't be blindly used all over the globe, descriptions are not worse for
this.

what part of "illegal" is subjective? IMHO it is quite objective: anything
against the law is "illegal".

OSM is not only about the physical world. THere is so many counter examples
I don't even have to name one...
