I really hope the announcement about the imagery is as fantastic as it sounds, i.e. that we will be able to trace all of the aerial imagery available on the Bing maps site. They must have a lot of third party copyright considerations to deal with. For example, the hi-res imagery on Bing for the UK seems to be from Getmapping plc. Getmapping have their own partially crowdsourced map for the UK, traced from their aerial imagery (peoplesmap.com), and which they aim to make money from (via proprietary licensing). I wonder whether Microsoft's existing licence would allow them to sublicense us for the purpose of tracing and, if not whether Getmapping would be willing to sell MS such a licence (and whether MS would be willing to buy it!). Here's hoping!

Actually, that already happened a few months ago when NPR's Future Tense did a story about the new OSM tiles for Bing.

> http://opengeodata.org/openstreetmap-founder-steve-coast-joins-bing > Congratulations Steve. This is great news. Bing (despite the god-awful name) are actually doing some really cool stuff in the mapping/geodata field. With an 'inside' man who appreciates the value of open-data and crowd sourcing this could be a huge win for free map data.

Never mind Steve Coast joining Microsoft (though I would guess several people would have apoplexy over a husband and a wife working for rival mapping companies), but the anticipated announcement that Microsoft will let OpenStreetMappers trace from their imagery is a much more welcome news to me! :-D On Wed, Nov 24, 2010 at 1:06 AM, Richard Weait wrote: > http://opengeodata.org/openstreetmap-founder-steve-coast-joins-bing > > http://blog.stevecoast.com/im-working-at-microsoft-and-were-donating-ima > ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
