The default Potlatch 2 background is being rendered as the Ordnance Survey 1:50000 map in parts of Britain. New users are likely to assume that the background is something they can legally trace from.

There are more details at http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.openstreetmap.region.gb/6684. (The last link should be http://uk.bing.com/maps/?v=2&cp=55.58972057046764~-3.549976721405983&lvl=14&dir=0&sty=h&eo=0&where1=Coulter%2C%20South%20Lanarkshire&form=LMLTCC, sorry for posting a plan text email.)

This seems to be a Bing bug - see the mailing list discussion.

It's pretty hard for us to do anything about it.

Yep - short of nuking the entire layer, we can't detect from within P2 whether the maps are proprietary or not! I've alerted Bing to what is clearly a Bing bug.
