I'd explicitly exclude the legal aspects. Yes - Its complicated.

Its not the accuracy i am aiming for - in Germany at least in most areas
have pretty good Aerials. The problem is that those images are from the
public sector and it will take up to 5 years for them to be
accessible/available.

I am aiming for lower latency ;) You see a new development area and
it'll take up to 5 years to be able to add houses etc. So it would
be nice to take aerials every 6 Months of those areas and follow the
build up of new houses.
