@AtomsInTheVoid Generally all licensing and copyright topics clearly indicate that reselling, redistribution and resharing original content is strongly prohibited and against law. This becomes more complicated for captured satellite data as dozens of companies and agencies collect these data each covering parts of Earth which finally comes down into a single mapping service provider as a web service or on other platforms. Even these mapping providers such as Google, Bing, ESRI… direct you to the original data collector for copyright issues.

Back to our products, they all use ESRI data for scene generation and other mapping sources only for area selection and previewing purposes. None of our products aiming to resell/redistribute original data which is copyrighted and the data is used as references for further analysis and 3D conversion. If your game/product behaves the same then it is clear in that regard, if not (in some rare cases) you can still contact the data provider for the area of interest regarding licensing.

However, if you are targeting to use heavy loads of these data in your product then you need to contact directly with the provider and we are not the one who is in charge of these cases.

This topic has been discussed a lot of times before, below is some of those if you want to read more:

Sorry if all statements are general and confusing but I think the best bet is to ask mapping providers directly for specific cases and questions, because it really depends on that company’s guidelines and that part of the Earth’s governmental laws. But please ask if you need more info and we try to help.
