    This is of course great news for OSM. Microsoft also provides Bing satellite imagery for free and helps in the development of some tools.

    But a little reminder: in 2013 the Knight Foundation gave 575000 USD for the development of the iD map editor. This is an editor that runs in a browser on the OSM homepage. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/ID#Project_history

    Glad to see a no-strings attached gift. Being Microsoft, though, I would not mind seeing a higher number.
