Not to discourage you, but if you want people to provide info, you must also guarantee that the said info is free for use for anyone (not just free as in beer).
Are you saying that GPL is a problem? At least, they have taken the wise step of not tying it to a BSD.
big G==Google
to elaborate: tying an app which is opensource/free to google data is not a good idea. After collecting huge amounts of data and users, you may find that the big G owns you. Incidently, with respect to data, neither GPL nor BSD is appropriate - CC is.
