Displaying Bing tiles is pretty much essential functionality of JOSM
for many of its users, with this function cut out probably very few
people are going to use it.

I'd prefer we ignore this bug for jessie, but it's possible to
download the logo at the runtime together with tiles themselves. This
wouldn't require to ship the logo inside the package while probably
wouldn't violate Bing's T&C.
