I'm curious to know what kind of arrangement you have with DG. I
assume you're paying them, and in return they let you derive data from
their imagery and publish it in any way you wish? So DG has no claim
on the road data you're generating, but the rest of us can't see the
original imagery you used to create that data - is that correct?

Thanks, Eric
