Hello

I've been talking with the Google Crisis Response team, and they have
confirmed:

* Imagery released under Skybox for Good can be digitized into OSM under
OSM's license.
* The attribution requirement can be fulfilled by attributing Skybox in a
given changeset and/or feature comment/tag. As well as noted on
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contributors
* While it's not a requirement, interested to start conversation about more
robust attribution down the line, ala the dynamic attribution in Google
Maps (something like an API to view attribution for a particular area, to
integrate into web viewers)
* HOT is welcome to make additional requests.

They want to know the best place to formally let OSM know the above. If the
gist of the above sounds reasonable, I think the best place to announce
would be on legal-talk@

While we are working on the legal details, it would also be worthwhile for
us to test the suitability of the imagery for OSM tracing. Is the
geo-referencing and resolution fit for our purposes?

Cheers
Mikel

The work that we, HOT and those who have already made aerial imagery

No. CC-BY requires an attribution at every use of the data. That's why
it is not compatible to our ODbL/Contributor Terms. OSM requires only an
attribution of OpenStreetMap contributors and nobody else from its
data users.

We have some government data in Germany which is available under CC-BY.
Usually the data owner granted an exemption to use the data because he
was satified by attribution at
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contributors

You have to ask Skybox for a exemption to make this imagary usable for OSM.

Best regards

Michael

The SkyBox imagery is CC BY 4.0, which *may* be compatible. It does not 
have the obvious problems that earlier versions of CC BY have.

IMHO only: I would suggest asking for explicit permission (to trace and
to distribute the results on ODbL terms). It is not clear at all if
their licence would allow it and reading the blurb it seems as if the
use case they are thinking of is more online display of the images.

You should ask the LWG for their opinion in any case.

Yes, let's the LWG answer about the license. 
Let me say that this is great what we have accomplished as an OpenStreetMap 
community with this Ebola outbreak.
Andrew Buck and myself, and HOT as the umbrella organization are there to make 
the bridge between this community and the humanitarian organizations, to 
strenghten the relations with the humanitarian organizations. This is one 
mission among others in OSM and we simply cannot do such job without the 
OSMcommunity. The response we have received for both the Haiyan typhoon in 
november 2013 and for this Ebola outbreak is simply fantastic.

There is a lot of media and academic attention about the progression of 
OpenStreetMap. Since the Haiti Earthquake in january 2010, there humanitarian 
organizations and UN agencies are also follwing closely the OSM community. With 
this unprecented response over the last 7 months with this Ebola outbreak, OSM 
is under the spots. The West Africa Ebola Response wiki page reports this media 
coverage. 

For this Ebola outbreak, HOT coordinates with MSF, Red Cross, UN-WHO, UN-OCHA 
and the Digital Humanitarian Network. To date, almost 2,000 OSM contributors 
from 100 countries and more then 10 millions objects edited.  

More then these statistics, this is the professionalism of the OSM 
organization, the capacity to provide a reliable environment and tools, assure 
connectivity with GIS softwares,  propose various free Mapping services, 
including for small devices, and adapt quickly to the needs of the humanitarian 
organizations that is recognized.
 
This professionalism of the OSM community among the various volunteer 
communities is the main message.  Let's hope that we can keep the spirit of 
this community and move forward as an organization with respectful and 
constructive discussions.

That is the one side of it, the other is that  you will find that the
opinions on if tracing even creates a derivative work to be very divided
(IMHO is depends on jurisdiction) and I would find explicit permission
better than legal speculation and potentially ignoring the licence.
