[Imports] Microsoft Buildings Import Inquiry

[john whelan]

The building outlines to my understanding are not Bing images but have to
be imported using JOSM or another tool as would any other import so to my
mind need a formal import plan and agreement with local mappers etc. etc.

A mapathon is just a number of mappers who are working together.  They may
or may not be importing.

Probably not what you wanted to hear and I strongly suspect some have been
brought into OSM without following the import guidelines.
