The usage of Mapillary images to derive data is not different from the
usage of aerial images such as Bing or Maxar to derive data. We have
special permissions for this kind of usage (and it is not an import).

You want to perform something different. You want to grab data from an
external database and put them in OSM (and this is an import).

Please also note that images and databases are covered by different rights,
at least in the EU.
