Legal issues when using ArcGIS Online image layers #104

Description

Esri suggests using their "Online image layers" for tracing data for upload to OSM:

"If you want to contribute to OpenStreetMap (OSM), an open and freely available database of geographic data, you can use ArcGIS Online image layers with the ArcGIS Editor for OpenStreetMap" source

Is this in fact legal? And if so, can I find some sort of official confirmation of this?

This question was raised at the Openstreetmap Help site. Here's the document that allows using Bing Imagery for OSM tracing.

Excuse me if this is off topic - but to me, it sounded like something that would be of interest for your wiki pages.
