NASA Landsat program is a great example of Open Data. It's important to remember that US taxpayers funded the creation, launch and operation of the satellites. EU Sentinel is similar. So the imagery is paid for, as users we just don't have to pay twice.

yes, coming to JOSM soon. I have been working with the JOSM developer team. Stay tuned.

love this feedback, thanks! At DigitalGlobe, and many other tech companies we work with, there is a growing understanding of the value and importance of OSM. It's a database of the Earth's features and nobody should "own" that.

thanks for the feedback. As the author of the blog post, I had to assume the audience doesn't know what OpenStreetMap is to start off with. So yes, it's general and a bit vague. I added more detail to an OSM Diary here: https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/@kevin_bullock/diary/4113... and glad to see you found the wiki.
