You're most probably right. OTOH, I cannot take responsability for the use of the tool I create. It's a bit like the Bittorent / P2P pirating dilemna. I already had the same problem when I implemented KML importing, which could allow tracing on google earth and importing back in OSM. I was then told on the dev list to go ahead, and that it was the mappers responsability to do the right thing. I could remove DigitalGlobe from the preset, that won't prevent the WMS sevice from existing and to be added manually... - Chris -
