and note that Bing imagery is provided to us on the same basis - for use
in OSM but not otherwise.

Changeset comment:
added missing roads according to proprietary aerial imagery
Editing organization's follow on comment:
"Proprietary" for Lyft meaning "provided to us for use in OSM but
not the general public"
Is this acceptable? 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.
