I haven't seen anything on the OSM pages that suggests the DigitalGlobe images are actually legal to trace with. There one twitter reference to it, but that appears to be only in the context of Haiti. The problem we (in Ireland) have noticed is that people are using the DigitalGlobe images for tracing, but that could be tainting the maps and existing data, if it is true that DigitalGlobe imagery cannot be used.
