I've said before if its there please show us where it is.
Just out of interest; why are we having this conversation? Is it just to
determine who is right and who is wrong and who was right in the first
place and who gets extra points for being super nitpicking (hello 80n,
have you never written a "final" document and later made a v2 of it?)
and who gets to sit on the golden seat in lawyer heaven?
Why are we having this conversation? Because every now and then someone
makes a statement along the lines that "we have a licence which allows us to
use Bing Imagery for tracing", and as far as I can see that is not backed up
by any evidence.
When anyone details their concerns about this, the only answers that are
ever given is "we have permission to do it", or are personal attacks on the
motives behind those asking the question.

Do you *want* to use Bing imagery but feel you cannot?
As I've said in my earlier I post's I am using Bing Imagery
David
Or do you not want to use Bing imagery and are looking for a reason?
I mean, every now and then I enjoy being a tongue-in-cheek smartass
myself, but somehow I have the impression that not only has this
discussion left the ground a while ago, no, meanwhile someone has cut
the tether as well.
By all means, if that's what floats your boat, continue - but you'll
excuse if meanwhile I'm a little bit pragmatic and trace some aerial
imagery. I'm sure it is wrong somehow, but I like the outcome.
