Hi Alan.
As far as I remember we are allowed to use Bing imagery for tracing
inside the osm community, but we are not allowed to use the imagery
publicly on the web unconnected to tracing issues.
If I'm right, it is not allowed what you want - and I think, if it would
be okay, some would have done so already.
regards
Peter

Is there a browser-viewable OSM-with-Bing-imagery-mashup somewhere
that can be used as citable source for Wikipedia? I'm suggesting OSM
as a potential source for accurate coordinates in WP articles, but
realize that positioning is not necessarily reliable unless
specifically tagged or easily compared against license-compatible
imagery.
I'm assuming:
a) Getting coords from OSM and using them in WP (with cite) is allowed
(is there a standard cite format?)
b) Looking at the Bing imagery to confirm OSM positioning is allowed,
so looking at the two together is allowed to get coords even if the
user doesn't choose to edit OSM to reflect them.
Note: I checked http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Online_Browsing
before writing this - none of the ones with worldwide coverage have
the Bing sat imagery. I realize that Potlatch and JOSM can do this -
I'm looking for a browser-only, no-login/no-edit solution.
