FYI: There are Satellite imagery Tile Server download utilities in GIS applications such as QGIS, and in ex: FS EarthTiles (aka "FSET").
## Me; I think I need to know where this is, if this is freeware imagery. Off to google this and track it down.

Two simple questions here;
Are ArcGISImagery 'and' (or) Virtual Earth Satellite 'open use'? Can I use these for projects that become payware? If you do not know, that is fine, I can go research it. Hoping you know right off if these are open-ware like Capernicus are.
Capernicus require a subscription for zoom levels over level 5 when downloading their data. (Thats what I read and understood. Perhaps they have a different way of doing things for just getting imagery which might be different then what I am understanding? )
ArcGISImagery is very nice. Good colors. I am very impressed.
Like Gary said most images sources can be used in either freeware or payware products. In general Google, Ms, etc license the images from different suppliers and you are not allowed to redistribute them.
If you are working on the US it might be USGS data is used, which in general can be redistributed. But you need to check the source of the images to be sure.
