Hi,

About sharing the data:

source - say, a shape file"

to share the results"

Our understanding of the Bing licence is that this might violate the
Bing terms of use and do not want to take any chance here. Asking our
legal office will probably take 6 months or more so we prefer to stay on
the safe side.

Related question: can the Snapshot Server definitely solves this legal
issue? And can you copy-paste polygons from the server layer onto OSM?

Thanks,
Mayeul

I guess here you have also several MB files , not just couple of lines, so you need to break up the dataset to smaller regions or thematic "layers". I have also done conversion to .osm files with appropriate tagging before sharing the files, and used JOSM to copy&merge objects individually.
