Hi Christoph, Definitely a practical query!
The rights: My interest is wth the IGM maps http://www.igmi.org/vendite/autorizzazione_riproduzioni.php Their rights are fairly standard: Reproduction and distribution to the public is prohibited. However, use is permitted for personal use (e.g. research). The terms also forbid processing/re-publishing of the data. The use: I'm interested in locating megalithic structures, but only where those are visible on Bing. I am not interested in copying anything from the map to OSM that I cannot see in Bing (as it probably isn't worth visiting anyway). As described, I would like to merely use the map to locate objects using a Bing layer in JOSM, and (if they can be identified from space) enter them into OSM. However, I am interested in doing this for a systematically in a few areas that I might visit, so it might be 50 objects, rather than one. Perhaps this constitutes "processing" (although it's not digital processing)? Or maybe it's more of a question as to "when" it constitutes processing. I should also say that I am not interested in testing the law (which is also not in line with trying to keep OSM genuinely open and free of challenges) - if it looks contentious, then I'll try to obtain (and document) the relevant permission first. Any clarification you might be able to offer (or insights from other countries, such as UK/ordinance survey) would be appreciated!
