I hope I'm not being a wet rag here, but ...
This is a quote from the " Android Software Development Kit License
Agreement" (found at http://code.google.com/android/download.html,
which is where you downloaded the SDK from):
8.1.1 If you use the Android Maps API (described in the
SDK by the Package name "com.google.android.maps"),
the terms of your binding legal agreement with Google
include this License Agreement, the Google Maps API
Terms of Service and the Google Maps Terms of Service.
You must read and agree to those Terms of Service
before you use the Android Maps API.
8.1.2 If you use the Android Maps API to retrieve
map or satellite image data from Google, you must include
the following copyright notice in your application or
service in a manner that is reasonably available to users:
"Copyright Notice: Data: (c)2007 TeleAtlas, AND,
Europa Technologies, Kingway, Map Data Sciences
Pty Ltd, PSMA, ZENRIN, Geocentre, MapLink/TeleAtlas;
Imagery: (c)2007 DigitalGlobe, EarthSat, Sanborn,
NYGIS, Scankort, TerraMetrics, MassGIS
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Digital Earth
Technology."
This is a quote from the "Google Maps API Terms of Service" (found at
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/terms.html):
1.4 Appropriate Conduct and Prohibited Uses. The Service
may be used only for services that are generally accessible
to consumers without charge.
In addition, except where you have been specifically
licensed by Google to do so, You may not use the Service
with any products, systems, or applications installed or
otherwise connected to or in communication with vehicles
for or in connection with: (a) real time route guidance
(including without limitation, turn-by-turn route guidance
and other routing that is enabled through the use of a
sensor); (b) any systems or functions for automatic or
autonomous control of vehicle behavior; or (c) dispatch,
fleet management or similar applications.
I think I very carefully crafted my applications to avoid these
restrictions, but only time will tell.
What I think will be an interesting question is "Will Google, et al,
give specific licenses for otherwise restricted applications, and, if
so, under what terms?"
