This could, for example, include the method of attributing Skybox as the source, or a similar method deemed appropriate by HOT. This probably calls for two things: 1. We will need a complete catalogue of HOT activations with exact time when they start and end and polygon for which the activation is valid, because any data that has a Skybox attribution and falls outside these spatio-temporal limits has to be removed. I guess such a list probably exists somewhere in HOT but it now becomes important for the wider community because for the first time there's a relationship between the exact time and region of a HOT activation and whether or not certain data is legal to to keep in OSM or not. 2. The methods by which our common editors select aerial imagery to offer to the user should be extended to be able to accommodate the information that certain imagery is only allowed inside certain polygons and certain timeframes (and editors would ideally have to pop up a warning if what you're currently mapping is outside of such a spatio-temporal window).

I think it's very kind of Skybox to allow us to use their imagery to improve OSM and do some good. To make things not more complicated than they need to be: Could Google/Skybox provide a specific URL for each imagery set and give permission to use this imagery indefinitely as the original intent was for a HOT activation and assuming we credit the source in the changeset accordingly? Sounds a lot easier than having to implement bounding polygon checks and correlate this with date and time. I don't know details of how you provide the data, but according to this page it's geotiff files. https://mapsengine.google.com/00979750194450688595-08887688179650036554-4/mapview/?authuser=0 That file would be either opened directly in JOSM using a plugin or served by HOT/3rd party as tiled bitmaps. Is this something you could consider making the usage of the imagery easier from a legal point of view?

[OSM-legal-talk] Skybox for Good imagery
Hi there, As some of you may be aware, we recently announced the Skybox for Good http://www.skyboximaging.com/blog/introducing-skybox-for-good program. We know that some of this imagery can be especially useful in Crisis Response situations, and therefore we are explicitly authorizing usage of Skybox for Good imagery in any current HOT Activation http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/HOT_activation, under the condition that changesets and/or features that are derived from Skybox for Good imagery and committed to OSM are attributed to Skybox. This could, for example, include the method of attributing Skybox as the source, or a similar method deemed appropriate by HOT.
