Hi,

Which goes against the usual OSM policy of rejecting it if unsure,
rather than accepting it.

Yes and no. When it comes to using external sources etc., we always say "when in doubt, don't". But when we have to remove someone's contributions because of a copyright violation, we usually do exactly what I have outlined above - make an honest attempt, but accept that a few fringe cases may remain which we'd then deal with if there is concrete complaint.

Bye
