All of the drone mappers are making me wonder:
What state are you in?
Are you required to have a license to produce aerial based:
Topographic Maps?
Orthophotos?
What kind of license is required (Survey, Engineer, Other)?

NC ALSO
From what I've seen not only are professional licensing laws being ignored, but FAA rules as well. I know of at least one commercial real estate project that used drone video in its presentation to the Planning Commission before commercial drone use was allowed at all. I also know a professional videographer who uses it occasionally -- he has his own drone -- and when I asked him if he had his Part 107 license, he told me he went online, filled out a couple of lines of information, and got his "license." (I think this may have been a noncommercial drone registration form, but it certainly wasn't a Part 107-compliant license to operate commercially.) It's still the wild west out there.
In Oregon photogrammetric mapping is included in the definition of Land Surveying. There is also separate licencing of Photogrammetrists.
Here is a good link on that. https://www.asprs.org/ppd-division/licensure-maps-and-regulations.html

Seems accurate to California laws. Though I am not exactly clear on what is meant by "Authoritative Imagery"
In Arizona providing photogrammetric services is not classified as Land Surveying, but photogrammetrically produced products must be sealed by a Land Surveyor if provided to the public.
