<div> </div>

<div class="BodyFragment"><font size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt;">
<div class="PlainText">I just got spam from mapilio, implying that I was a "Mapilio<br>
contributor". This was, to my memory, the first I had heard of them.<br>
<br>
<br>
I have avoided most street-level imagery schemes as not being<br>
structurally similar to OSM (open source tooling, community project and<br>
licensing scheme).<br>
<br>
Looking briefly, it seems like a corporate thing with proprietary<br>
tooling. They talk about an app in proprietary app stores but do not<br>
mention F-Droid :-) The point seems to be to monetize crowdsourced<br>
contributions, in a gamified/rewards-ish sort of way.<br>
<br>
I don't find a JOSM plugin that makes the imagery available in the way<br>
that their web page implies it is licensed for OSM.<br>
<br>
Thus, my approach will be to not deal with them at all and just block<br>
their mail.<br>
<br>
<br>
I am curious if anyone<br>
- thinks my assessment of the fundamentals is off<br>
- thinks there is a reasonable way to use their imagery in JOSM<br>
- anything else similar<br>
<br>
- has also been spammed (private replies please and I'll post a<br>
followup if I get a bunch of comments)<br>
