The images are indeed CC-BY-SA. Mapillary has an API / Apps etc which could be restricted under the terms they have published. The use of the services can be seen as being different from the image data.

e.g. Business plans: http://www.mapillary.com/business.html "The commercial plans only regulate the use of the APIs, the photos are still under Creative Commons."

So "you can use these images freely, but you have to first acquire them through our API, which you may not use quite freely," or am I missing something? This doesn't seem to make much sense.

Is it like Disneyland, where you pay at the gate and then enjoy whatever attractions you like? Or an all-you-can-eat buffet.
