Hello.

Reliefweb is a service of the United Nations, that contains maps, mostly
concerning regions where have been desaster and where humanitairian aid is
necessary.

Their permission can be found here: http://reliefweb.int/map_permission

Is it possible to use this for OSM?

Specially 2 points are interesting:

– ReliefWeb maps cannot be used for advertising, marketing or in ways which
are inconsistent with the Organization's mission (see “About ReliefWeb” for
details).

– All maps must be credited as follows: “Based on OCHA/ReliefWeb”

Is this really acceptable for OSM?
