<span style="font-family: verdana,sans-serif;">Hi,</span><br style="font-family: verdana,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: verdana,sans-serif;">I am talking on behalf of Spot Image. At this stage, we are only making a test over France. As soon as possible, we will try to evaluate the mutual benefits for Spot Image and OpenStreetMap in order to foster an extended collaboration. </span><br style="font-family: verdana,sans-serif;">

<br style="font-family: verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: verdana,sans-serif;">And I just want to correct the spelling for the source tag : source=Cnes / Spot Image</span><br style="font-family: verdana,sans-serif;">

it seems<br>
that SPOT is an aggregate of differently licensed data. So what<br>
applies to France doesn't for the rest of the world.<br>
<br>
But maybe someone else can correct me on that, I'm not sure.<br>

SPOT is an imagery provider, so they can apply the licence they want on
their production. They decided to create a special one for this
experimental phase of 6 months. The special licence for OSM (in
english) is here:<br>
<a href="http://www.youmapps.org/licenses/EULA-OSM-en.html" target="_blank">http://www.youmapps.org/licenses/EULA-OSM-en.html</a><br>
<br>
SPOTmaps, the product (in french):<br>

<br>
As Emilie said, it's 2.5m resolution + 15m accuracy for France,
orthorecitified. It is normally sold 2€ per km2 but is free for France
and only for OpenStreetMap for the next 6 months, renewable. After this
period and depending on its success, geographic extensions will be
evaluated by SPOT.<br>

So people mapping using the SPOT imagery are invited to add the source
"CNET/SPOT image" on they data to help evaluating, to see the
experience reconducted, and maybe extended to other countries.<br>
