Matthias is right. You cannot rely on the client program. It is easy to change the user agent. see http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/ Matthias Meißer wrote: > >> so best would be to let mappers somewhat register by mail/osm PM/.. so >> they >> can check who is online.

As I already said you cannot rely on the client program. I saw in the WMS plugin that you can specify cookies. (I don't know if it works correct.) Maybe the user can go to their website to accept the license. The user will get a string that he has to copy and paste to his WMS configuration as a cookie specification. The WMS server can reject requests without a known cookie. (But without other checks some cookies will sooner or later be known to everyone.) Or the website can create an individual URL after accepting the license. The user can select the "WMS - rectified image" option and paste the URL. (similar security problems here, maybe the URL can be restricted to a specific IP address and could expire when unused for some time...)
