My main problem with OpenAerialMap was that nobody responded to my 
request if I could put CC-BY-SA content on there, because I have to 
differentiate in products. In my humble opinion we just make different 
raster layers with different licenses. So we could even import the NASA 
satellite map, so yes; Open to everyone, under a license that fits your 
bill, exported to the licenses that interest the viewer.

It is work in progress :) The Google Summer of Code part of the projects 
takes image recognition to the next level; slight preview:
