The reason is probably this clause in the EULA:
[[
The END-USER shall not do any of the following:
(a) do anything not expressly authorized under Article 2.1; In particular,
the END USER shall not download, re-broadcast, or post on the internet whole or
part of the PRODUCT and shall prevent any third party from doing any of these
actions.
]]
This would prohibit caching/proxying the WMS in tiles using something like
TileCache or Whoots, meaning (unless I am mistaken) that Potlatch would be
unable to use the imagery under the given terms.

I just went to
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/2010_07_Pakistan_Floods/Imagery_and_data_sources
and didn't see this there, and by the time I logged in to add it, you'd
already edited the page. :-) Great work on this, Mikel and thanks to both you
and Jeff for making this happen.
Don't forget to tag derived features with the attribution, gang!
