Just to pick up on your point about HOT. Google has confirmed that Imagery released under Skybox for Good can be digitized into OSM under OSM's license. This applies to all imagery whether the imagery was captured following a request from HOT or any other organisation.
Currently we have the following statement: https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2014-October/071318.html Whilst a more formal written text is sitting with Mike Collinson and we hope to have him and LWG ok it soon. Best, Rob p.s. Any comments on alignment very welcome especially if evidenced with GPS traces. :-D
