I would like to help by tracing many houses using ESRI as a base map (feel free to audit my history on OSM under the name "Moult"). I would also like to add address information (addr:housenumber and addr:street) to these ways however I don't think that we are meant to be copying from Google maps. Is there another map source that has addresses that we can use? Perhaps some form of government cadastre map? Is that allowed?What do you mean by "ESRI as a base map" do you mean the "ESRI World Imagery" available in ID and JOSM? ESRI's map layers are not allowed, just like Google Maps or Google Street View which must not be used as we don't have the copyright permissions to use these.
As a bit of background, see https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-osm-editor/issues/104 and https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-hub/constituent-engagement/esri-world-imagery-in-openstreetmap/?rmedium=redirect&rsource=blogs.esri.com%2Fesri%2Farcgis%2F2017%2F08%2F24%2Fworld-imagery-in-osm . I'm not a lawyer, but that github issue has contributions both from ESRI and members of OSMF's LWG, so I'd definitely read it.
