As a bit of background, see 
https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-osm-editor/issues/104 and 
https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-hub/constituent-engagement/esri-world-imagery-in-openstreetmap/?rmedium=redirect&rsource=blogs.esri.com%2Fesri%2Farcgis%2F2017%2F08%2F24%2Fworld-imagery-in-osm 
.  I'm not a lawyer, but that github issue has contributions both from 
ESRI and members of OSMF's LWG, so I'd definitely read it.

Best Regards,

Andy
