Sounds interesting. So possibly we can comply with the licensing  
regulations without any special actions by the user. Currently for the  
Gaza Strip we provide a URL 'in the clear where you get the URL on  
request and enter it into JOSM - no need to sign in to access it when  
you know the URL and no technical mechanism to stop it being mis-used  
- hence the person side of setting it up.

It would of course be good to provide the user with simple access to  
the photography through Potlatch only available to registered users  
(which as you say is all users)- would that be possible?
