The LWG has not historically looked at data licences. There have a been 
a couple cases like CC BY 4.0 where there have been external reasons for 
them to get involved, but they have been the exception, not the rule.

My understanding was a benediction by the Legal Working Group can be 
taken as the highest "official" approval although I understand there is 
a small backlog of licenses awaiting.


Different parts of the world spell licence or license differently by the 
way. The UK uses licence and the US uses license.

There is no such thing as official approval or confirmation in OSM but
there is no reason to assume there to be any legal issues.

I see no typo in the title... Licence is the correct English spelling

Thanks Christoph,
So I should understand this as Copernicus Sentinel Data confirmed for use in 
OSM, since it is officially in the list of data contributors.

This has been discussed before, see:

Sentinel-2 data is being widely used by mappers meanwhile - in 
particular the Russian community is mapping a lot based on this.

Essentially for almost any armchair mapping activities recent optical 
open data imagery - either Sentinel-2 or Landsat - will provide you 
with additional information that is useful for improving the accuracy 
and reliability of mapping.

[OSM-talk] Licence for Sentinel Satellite images

[Sérgio V .]

Hi,
please, could the OSM Data or License Working Group confirm if:

it's ok to use Sentinel Satellite data 
(https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Sentinel-2) "as background for tracing or 
any other purpose for OSM"?

As it is refered in
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Sentinel-2#Usage
to https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Ff5722/Using_Sentinel-2_imagery
"Sentinel-2 satellite data is licenced suitably to be used as background for 
tracing or any other purpose for OSM"
that refers to:
https://sentinel.esa.int/documents/247904/690755/Sentinel_Data_Legal_Notice

If ok, would it be enough referencing it's use in the source of the changeset 
comment?
Like "source:image=Sentinel..."

It would be usefull for tracing updated landcover, large areas or large roads. 
It's almost daily updated.
Not usefull for small scale detailed mapping, since it's limited to 10m/px.

Thank you in advance,
