[edit] Copyright of aerial and satellite images

FSX Photoscene does not actually download photo "tiles" but instead uses tiles that have been acquired via 3rd party tools.

Scenery developers need to be aware that there may be copyright issues associated with the use of such tiles and should check the licencing arrangements of the tile provider.
