Bing imagery is available for inspection to everybody, for use in OSM terms are relaxed that would otherwise prohibit tracing etc.
Not comparable to not having access to the source at all, in this case we don't even know if the Lyft employee is referring to street level images (which might actually need processing before release), or aerial/sat imagery.

In my mind it is not as the whole community should have access in order to verify and build on these edits.I look at it as if they were using local knowledge. For example, If I walk downtown and take pictures of business doors to capture address, name, and hours for use in updating OSM but don't upload those pics - I consider that acceptable.For Lyft to make their imagery public they would have to insure that nothing private, such as faces, license plates, etc. I'm sure they don't want the added cost required make them public.Clifford -- @osm_washington www.snowandsnow.us <https://www.snowandsnow.us> OpenStreetMap: Maps with a human touch _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk_______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
