Open mapping was invented on Maplantis, and as a Maplantian, and now the head admin of Maplantis 2.0, I can tell you that maps that have the original creators name taken off of them are against what open mapping is about. Open mapping gives credit but allows editing so long as no names are removed from the map. Don't call open mapping something it's not, it already gets a bad enough rep from the map stealing that goes on.
Based on is too nice, and does not work in this situation. THE ONLY THING that was changed was the name on the map. No features, no balancing, no new content, NOTHING. It was pure STEALING, plain and simple. The map was unprotected, some strings were edited, and it was repackaged. That's it. That isn't based on at all.
You could say 'This map is labeled as stolen. You can find the properly credited map here.' with a link to the unstolen map on nibbits.
