Is there any free geo database?
I want to build an location based application, and I don't know how to get some location data, like: the latitude and longitude of nearby starbucks, KFC, or pizza?
Is there any free database on the internet? how does others get those data? like yelp, foursquare?

Openstreetmap has quite a few POI in their database i think, check out their rendered map if it does contain the info you need.
Oh, and you need around 100GB for the full db :)
