@Showroom7561 while it doesn’t look good (multiple orgs claiming rights in the imagery), I would suggest contacting the e-mail here https://maps.durham.ca/arcgis/rest/services/Cached/_Basemaps/DurhamImage/_UTM/MapServer and asking if they would be prepared to allow OSM access for tracing, the details would have to be hashed out naturally.
@Showroom7561 if you have a link to your municipalities imagery in some form I can give it a quick look.
@Showroom7561 you seem to be jumping to conclusions a bit there. Yes we are allowed to use Esri World Imagery in its two variants, there is no permission for anything else.
PS: there have been cases were Imagery was available in the Esri imagery referenced above that wasn’t legally available for use to us elsewhere, in the cases that I tracked it ‘suddenly’ vanished after a while.
@pr06lefs @lemmydividebyzero you should really only use @fdroidorg if you buy in to their philosophy that everybody is out there is trying to get you.
Essentially if you have a web service and write an app for it, or you write/use a web service that supports the functionality of the app that can’t be simply replaced (because it is app specific) they will immediately “anti-feature” you. Its a shame because it makes it difficult to find the real issues in all the noise they produce.
