Father, jack of many trades, open data cynic. Somewhat involved with OpenStreetMap.
Allergic to monopolies and have a knack of making myself unpopular with them.
@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.
@Showroom7561 the two Esri imagery sources are the ones defined here https://github.com/osmlab/editor-layer-index/tree/gh-pages/sources/world
