[OSM-dev] Fwd: [Feature suggestion] importing bitmap/vectir gfx fort easing map editing

[Chris Hill]

Hi Andréa,
Following an exchange offlist I want to confirm that any image that you 
trace from must be compatible with ODbL (that OSM uses). Simply 
adjusting an image to trace from does not exempt you from copyright or 
licence restrictions. If you do not have a suitable licence or written 
permission to use the map image, please do not trace data from it into OSM.
