If they did indeed use OSM to fixe their map then CC-BY-SA would extend 
to their map, not their images, and they would be in breach of the 
license even today. Nothing whatsoever to do with aerial imagery.

Plus, if they switch to Nokia they'll throw their existing data out so 
even if it *had* beeen CC-BY-SA infected that would then go down the 
drain as well.

Bye
