@Showroom7561 you seem to be jumping to conclusions a bit there. Yes we are allowed to use Esri World Imagery in its two variants, there is no permission for anything else.
PS: there have been cases were Imagery was available in the Esri imagery referenced above that wasn't legally available for use to us elsewhere, in the cases that I tracked it 'suddenly' vanished after a while.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding, then. I didn’t see it mention “two variants”, and we’d only be talking about more recent images of the same satellite imagery.
