With the Bavarian imagery that was "loaned" to us, we saw that the project attracted quite a few "casual mappers" who spent half a day just to be part of it but who would most likely not have signed up to participate in a limited access project. So if it *can* be avoided that's certainly useful. Sometimes when the licensor requests that access be limited, one can talk them into accepting some heavy watermarking on the images instead, which makes them un-interesting for any application but tracing. They are more likely to allow such images out in the open.
