I understand your concern, but I'm not sure we have a good choice (the timing is currently very very bad!), either : 1. I get a positive reply from Microsoft soon --> I will include the image. --> I don't think this will happen before the code freeze :-( 2. debian-legal (and debian-gis) agree that the "bing_maps.png missing" license problem will be ignored for jessie (as suggested by Andrew Shadura <bugzi...@tut.by>). In that case we can try to apply the patch from #765421 (before the freeze) to jmapviewer such that josm works with bing. --> IMHO the problem with this is that at any time during jessie's lifetime, a complaint from a DD (or Microsoft itself) could lead to josm and freeplane being removed from main (or even the archive). 3. I will remove the logo and tilesource/BingAerialTileSource.java from the jmapviewer package (which should resolve any licensing issues). josm will FTBFS, Sebastiaan and I will try to add a patch to josm such that it works without bing (but maybe that is not worth it since, as I understand the comments here, josm is not helpful without bing?) > Kind regards > > Andreas. > > PS: And no, unfortunately I can not help working on this besided the > usual sponsering if needed.
