That's unexpected but its good news

Let's see where it goes. Many don't want to contribute to #Mapillary since they were bought by facebook.

But as #maproulette directly contributes to #openstreetmap, I can't see a problem here.

TomTom has been making a lot of challenges on MapRoulette for quite some time now, so if it's just bringing in money that's not too bad. I think the only way they can fuck it up will be to restrict challenge creation to TomTom employee, but since they haven't bought MapRoulette (yet) I don't see that happening now.
