As Tom says, the situation with permission has not changed either way.

Yahoo have slightly extended the switch-off period because some other users
of their Maps API requested it: 

"A few remaining customers have requested additional time to switch over to
new APIs and then the service will be shut down... We anticipate this will
be completed sometime later this year."

Given that there are a few small areas of the world covered by Yahoo imagery
but not Bing, I've not been in a hurry to remove it from P2. This may still
happen before the eventual closure but, regardless, I don't have any plans
to alter the P1 code, so that at least will still be running until they
finally switch the Yahoo servers off. Or we switch P1 off. ;)

cheers
Richard
