Hi, sorry but that is not the purpose of this data. We are releasing it for research and education purposes.

You might redirect your critique to the other ~1000 companies in the world who have such data and don't release anything at all under any terms.

Sorry it's just a mild complaint. I am still happy that this dataset exists! Just my first thought was "ah I will put it on Wikimedia Commoms", and then... I realize I can't.

Yeah, we have our own self-serving reasons for sharing this dataset as you might guess, and I hope that we see some nice outcomes from having shared it.

What specifically would you like to use for wikimedia commons? You don't need all 1.25 million panoramas for that, do you?

A subset is a good idea. I will write you later.
