Is there an imagery host that offers an OSM-friendly way to support mapping and
is suitable for contributions using a smartphone or tablet?

Subject: [OSM-talk] mapilio? (street-level imagery)
I just got spam from mapilio, implying that I was a "Mapilio
contributor". This was, to my memory, the first I had heard of them.
I have avoided most street-level imagery schemes as not being
structurally similar to OSM (open source tooling, community project and
licensing scheme).
Looking briefly, it seems like a corporate thing with proprietary
tooling. They talk about an app in proprietary app stores but do not
mention F-Droid :-) The point seems to be to monetize crowdsourced
contributions, in a gamified/rewards-ish sort of way.
I don't find a JOSM plugin that makes the imagery available in the way
that their web page implies it is licensed for OSM.
Thus, my approach will be to not deal with them at all and just block
their mail.
I am curious if anyone
- thinks my assessment of the fundamentals is off
- thinks there is a reasonable way to use their imagery in JOSM
- anything else similar
- has also been spammed (private replies please and I'll post a
followup if I get a bunch of comments)
