You are not seriously suggesting that paying a proprietary data vendor 
for a likely restrictive license to use some imagery for mapping in OSM 
is in support of the idea of open data?

If there is acute need for better imagery in a certain area and classic 
mapping on the ground is not a reasonable alternative (why is that?) i 
would suggest to approach satellite image providers if they can offer 
help - you can see there have already been reactions in that direction.
