In an announcement from 15 Jan 2015 in their email newsletter, related to this news, they wrote:

"(...) the need for an independent, open alternative will be even greater in the future and that’s what we are playing to become. Independent, untied, and true to our guidelines of being “as open as possible without jeopardizing operating as a business”. Open data and open source are in our blood and we will keep pushing the limits there.

It would be nice if they put some of that language in your manifesto or in the about page, to conform to the inclusion guidelines. Currently all I could find was this blog post about the license change (dropping the non-commercial restriction):

This now means we have a true open data license and that we are welcoming people to use our photos. Our guiding principle remains the same: maximize sharing and use of all our photos without totally compromising us building a sustainable business.

Closing this for the time being, as they never included the language about commitment to open business model in their website, and in fact they've been moving away from such a model (e.g. the issues repository, which had always suffered low rates of reaction to community feedback, has been recently archived).

Hopefully sometime in the future we can consider adding Mapillary to the list, but at the moment it doesn't look like it fits the requirements.
