Dear Christiaan

Many thanks for this udpate on imagery, does Google makes this imagery
available under the same agreement that ruled for the previous imagery
shared by Google in January which was allowing work (geo features) deriving
from tracing (digitizing) work done over imagery to be imported in the OSM
database under its current data license scheme. Extremely grateful if you
can clarify on this so that we can use it for further works in support of
the current efforts happening in Haiti

Best regards
Nicolas
