Yes. Disconnected. So no more comments about this.

Individuals working through the Tasking Manager agree with the license
terms of different imagery providers for many TM jobs since years ago,
so I don't see the difference. JSI/USAID want to import this (very
valuable) data into OSM and have decided that the best way to do it is
through the HOT TM. This has been done many times in the past, with no
problem. In other words: for JSI those volunteers will be helping JSI
import the data, and helping OSM community to have a ***much better
map of Tanzania***. And they will have to accept the license for this
import, i.e., that they can't use the data for other purpose than
importing/integrating it into OSM, and before September 2016.
