Yes that's what I thought. As far as I know Yahoo licenced map data and bought the 'you can relicence it' option, whereas Google didn't. Hence as far as I know, Google can't legally let people use the aerial imagery like Yahoo can. StreetView data would be awesome to have, since it would massivly increase the amount of information we could add. Footpaths, speedlimits, number of lanes, etc etc, Theses are things you can't get from aerial imagery.
