It has been common practice with past imports that either the process to produce the data or the data itself has been accessible during import consultation in full. I see no reason to derivate from this practice here. To be frank - I don't think it is significant if we can demand for the imagery to be made available or not. This is an import review process and i think it would be better if the images were available - both for OSM and for Facebook - so i suggest it. Not doing so because we can't demand this from them is a thought that never crossed my mind. But ultimately it is their money obviously. And given the fact that many mistakes have been made by Facebook in this project including an undiscussed import of considerable size i also don't think reactions here have been overly demanding or unreasonable otherwise. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ Imports mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/imports
