It's because on StreetView, we don't "trace" on the photo. Doing this
on aerial imagery is reusing the transformation process of images
rectified (including relief with DEM) and georeferenced. This is the
"added value" protected. Facts visible on aerial imagery like "the sea
is blue" is not copyrighted. But coastline position and shape is.
