 Before using the imagery, please review the legal agreement at 
 http://www.youmapps.org/licenses/EULA-OSM-EN.html
 Note that SPOT has authorized use in JOSM, Merkaartor, and Viking, but not 
 Potlatch (I wasn't given a reason).

The reason is probably this clause in the EULA:

[[

The END-USER shall not do any of the following:

(a) do anything not expressly authorized under Article 2.1; In particular, 
the END USER shall not download, re-broadcast, or post on the internet whole or 
part of the PRODUCT and shall prevent any third party from doing any of these 
actions.

]]

This would prohibit caching/proxying the WMS in tiles using something like 
TileCache or Whoots, meaning (unless I am mistaken) that Potlatch would be 
unable to use the imagery under the given terms.

 Hopefully this imagery proves useful in the base map. Please distribute this 
 information to any interested mappers.

I just went to 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/2010_07_Pakistan_Floods/Imagery_and_data_sources
 and didn't see this there, and by the time I logged in to add it, you'd 
already edited the page. :-) Great work on this, Mikel and thanks to both you 
and Jeff for making this happen.

Don't forget to tag derived features with the attribution, gang!

 I just meant to mirror them to something faster than the  Google
 server (the OSM cluster should get ~30MB/s from cassini).
 
 It would be better if someone else could set up the actual tile/wms serving.

I'm working on that now, hope to have something up by morning!

  Note that the rectification is bleeding miles off on that geotiff.
  I'll see if I can figure out a way to fix that, but for now press
  space on potlatch and drag it in from the west.
 
 The rectification has been fixed using the GCP information from Chippy.

The same warped image is being mirrored at NYPL as well:

The imagery is available here:

  http://maps.nypl.org/tilecache/1/haiti/$z/$x/$y.jpg

You can also use this custom imagery URL in Potlatch:

  http://maps.nypl.org/tilecache/1/haiti/!/!/!.png 

Finally, there's WMS for use in JOSM:

  
http://maps.nypl.org/relief/maps/wms/32?request=GetMapversion=1.1.1styles=format=image/pngsrs=epsg:4326exceptions=application/vnd.ogc.se_inimage;

These URLs are using the exact same image as the gravitystorm.dev.osm
server, but might be under less load...
