When I zoom into these places, I get "Imagery (c) 2008 Google". Not  
(c) FlyByAerialCo, or (c) ViablyUnnecessaryTechnoToys, or any of that.  
Just (c) Google. Looks like they bought it.

So there's no reason they can't give us derivation rights - you know,  
to show willing, engagement with the community, etc. - is there?

cheers

P.S. Definitely some UI ideas worth learning from in the editor. Bit  
modal for my tastes though ;)
