IANAL, but this tickles my "derivative work" sensor a little.
How would this be any different than using Google, or another copyrighted
imagery source? If a road, intersection, or feature is moved in OSM as a
result of looking at its position in the imagery, is that not deriving
from the imagery?<br><br>

We are using the aerials to determine the accuracy of OSM and RLIS, so we
just use it as a background layer. In some cases, OSM is more accurate
than RLIS. The aerials help us send feedback to RLIS and determine where
a change in OSM is justified.<br><br>

Wow - that's among the highest-quality and most recent imagery available
anywhere. It should result in very accurate alignment, as long as it's
been well referenced/ortho'd. Would it be possible to make it available
for use by other OSM users?</blockquote>
