[OSM-legal-talk] Usage of Planet Labs NICFI imagery

Hey guys,

Since October 2020, Norway through its NICFI program is sponsoring high resolution imagery from Planet Labs in the tropics. With this, virtually anyone can have access to these imagery, which is aimed to be used for fighting deforestation (among other goals).

I couldn't find any info regarding this and OSM, so that's why I'm asking it here.

On their page, it seems that data is kinda freely available [1], but then I wanted to check with you more expert guys if we can use on OSM. It doesn't seem they have a standard license (such as CC-BY os ODbL), but they do provide a document with the license of that imagery [2].

On OSM Contributors wiki page I found this permission: "Planet Labs Inc. through their Open Data Portal", but I couldn't find more information. Reading the license, the 'Sharing' section made me unsure about the usage on OSM.

What do you guys think? Are we allowed to use, or should we ask for a waiver? (Or had anyone already contacted them and we received a negative answer?)
