Isn't http://opengeodata.org/microsoft-imagery-details the "prior
written consent from Microsoft".
I'm not sure it is, or certainly if it is enough.
1) I don't actually see anywhere where it says you can derive works from the
imagery.
2) In fact what you CAN do is specified very little, the agreement has far
more about what you CANT do.
3) Its not even clear to me that [1] applies to end users, ie those who are
using Potlatch, JOSM etc, the agreement in [1] seems much more applicable
to the developers of Potlatch etc
4) Given that document [2] IS very clear that you cant create derivative
works, if document [1] is intended to give the written consent then I think
it need's to do so in a clear and unambiguous manner.
