would it be possible (from both a licensing/legal and a technical standpoint) to host the tutorial imagery ourselves? We have no way of knowing when the providers will update the imagery, and it often results in the tutorial describing examples that no longer exist. For example:

Hi folks! Found a small issue in the app's project tutorial. When you're walking through the tutorial and reach the portion on tagging tiles obscured by clouds, it looks like the imagery update has left us with cloudless tiles to be tagged as cloud covered.

We made a very custom tutorial a couple of years ago, which used self-hosted imagery (ask @Hagellach37 for details 😉). It was clunky to make, but it was a one-off. It would definitely be technically possible to automate the process.

On the legality side, I have a hard time imagining problems coming out of us caching a few dozen tiles if we keep the copyright/license info as usual. But I'm no lawyer :)
