Some people will upload them without paying any attention to the category - as the category won't affect them, we can ignore them when considering the benefits of making the category. Other people will see the category and upload more images - that's the main affect the category will have, so that's what we need to consider.
I think that the goal of the images should be put into consideration. Isn't it better conduct to categorize "satellite photos" as opposed to "images from Google Earth"? This would allow people to put free images in the category as well. I don't really see the use of categorizing images from Google Earth, because they aren't any more or less useful than equivalents from other sources.
PS: I'm new to this list, and haven't seen the beginning of this discussion, so my apologies if this is off-topic or besides the point.

There's no reason why [[Category:Google Maps images]] cannot be a subcategory of both [[Category:Fair use images]] and [[Category:Satellite images]]
