[WikiEN-l] Google Earth screenshots

[Bogdan Giusca]

What should we do with the screenshots taken from Google Earth?
I see that more and more of them are uploaded on en.wiki, for example
to illustrate things such as high-schools or cities. But, does the
fair-use claim hold up?

Note that some of the images claim "PD".
