I think imported data isn't a question of crowedsourced or not 
crowdsourced but a question of source of the data. Also imports are done 
by a mapper. Only a mapper could contribute data and therefore he can 
use several sources like GPS-tracks, aerial images and other databases 
like TIGER, CORINNE, ....
