Hello,

is it secure to use Bing? Any license risks? Could Microsoft, at some day, just 
force us to remove everything with "source=Bing" on it? Am I forced to have this 
"source" tag there? Should stuff, taken from Bing, be verified via GPS track at 
some time to get the data secure?

One risk, which definetly exists, is that Microsoft rejects their offer at some 
time, so if there is no risk in using the data, I would start to use it to 
complete several things in my area (buildings, landuse, ....) as long as the 
data is still available for OSM.

Yours

Manuel
