Permission from whom, and in what form?  Supposedly the Yahoo images
are okay, but 1) Yahoo didn't take the pictures in the first place,
and 2) I haven't verified that Yahoo even gave permission (who signed
the waiver?  what indication do we have that they were authorized to
do so?  can I see a copy of the waiver?  what exactly are the terms?).

I'm hesitant to push that issue, but hey, if OSM decides to stop
helping people trace from Yahoo maybe someone else will come along
with less silly rules.
