We are lucky for Digital Globe ... the majority of the imagery used by
OpenStreetMap ultimately comes from purchases of DG imagery, whether via the
Bing imagery layer, through Mapbox imagery, through humanitarian imagery
requests to State Department HIU via Imagery to the Crowd. The extraordinary
occasions when DG has released imagery completely, like after the Nepal
earthquake, have been very welcome contributions to our cause. -Mikel

I'm under the impression that Digital Globe sells some imagery but is kind
enough to make some available directly to us, I think 1087 is an example.
It's very nice imagery as well.

Hi Mike and Benson, on behalf of DigitalGlobe, I would be happy to promote it
within our organization; we have many team members is Northern CO.
WRT your imagery question, agreed the provider is US State Dept, and the actual
source of the imagery is DigitalGlobe (through Nextview license).
Best regards, Kevin

I think I found my answer (rather obvious). It is being provided by the US
State Department.
Additional insight that might help is still welcome...

I am working on a press release for our humanitarian map-a-thon (@Colorado
State University, November 18th). We plan on working on this project (if it is
not completed by that date):http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/1195
The description says that the imagery is from Digital Globe, was it donated or
purchased? If it was purchased, by whom? Digital Globe is located in this
general area, and mentioning the use of their imagery may get our event more
attention in the local press. Just want to make sure I get the facts straight.
