[OSM-talk] Slippy map with Bing background

[Peter Wendorff]

Hi Alan.

As far as I remember we are allowed to use Bing imagery for tracing 
inside the osm community, but we are not allowed to use the imagery 
publicly on the web unconnected to tracing issues.
If I'm right, it is not allowed what you want - and I think, if it would 
be okay, some would have done so already.

regards
Peter
