edit] Why don't you just use Google Maps/whoever for your data?

Faq - OpenStreetMap
Because that data is copyrighted and owned by people like the Ordnance Survey. Google/whoever just license it. If we used it, we'd have to pay for it. Most hackers around the world are familiar with the difference between "free as in beer" and "free as in speech". Google Maps are free as in beer, not as in speech. If your project's mapping needs can be served simply by using the Google Maps API, all to the good. But that's not true of every project.
