<p>For what it's worth, Nearmap seems to have suspended free imagery for personal use. It is now $49-99/month.

The approval for my acceptance of the new licence was only being stopped due<br>
to imports I have done from <a href="http://data.gov.au" target="_blank">data.gov.au</a>. and the original CC.<br>
When Michael received approval I agreed to the licence. Thankyou Michael.<br>
<br>
Even though I still don't agree we needed to chance the licence I still<br>
agreed to the improved CC.<br>
<br>
I have now moved across to FOSM due to living in Australia and wanting to<br>
continue to use Nearmap. I still might share my future GPS tracks with both<br>
projects.<br>

Bull. Michael Collinson spent months trying to get approval from<br>
<a href="http://data.gov.au" target="_blank">data.gov.au</a> for approval... finally did. Pity the importer refuses to<br>
relicence even if the data is OK.<br>
LWG spent months negotiation with NearMap and got approval, but not<br>
exactly how we hoped.<br>
OSM(F) is not some nefarious organisation... I'm like everyone else in<br>
the project it doing it for fun, interesting and for the making<br>
something great... I have a "real" day job that is not related to osm.<br>
<br>
Mr John Anonymous Smith... the community will be better without you.<br>
<br>
Glad the license change is nearly over and we can get back to what we<br>
enjoy... Mapping and building the bloody best map (data) of the world.<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
Grant<br>
