Hi.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
We need to be very careful about intellectual property with a project like OSM. We cannot use maps (and aerial photos etc) where the owner does not give us permission.
</div>
<div>

<div>
I can understand that this is frustrating when you have spent time on it, and you had good intentions, but the original copyright owner won't see it that way.

There is more detail on the wiki at

<div>
Some government agencies give explicit permission for OSM to use their data. Without explicit permission, this data cannot be used in OSM.
