OpenStreetView isn't directly associated with OpenStreetMap or the OSM Foundation.

It's run by the US company Telenav (all over the terms: http://openstreetview.org/terms/ ).

I guess individual users are giving OpenStreetView/Telenav some permissions via OpenStreetMap oauth.

No permissions per se, we just didn't want to have users create YAA. We figured if you're going to be interested in OSV you'd already have an OSM account anyway.

That needs to be fixed, OSV should be owned and run by the OSM folks.
