I'm not sure if this is really the case. The Google Maps API FAQ[1]
says this about the topic:

> As long your site is generally accessible to consumers without
> charge,  you may use the Google Maps API. [...] If you charge
> people to place information on your map (e.g. to list their
> homes for sale), but you display this information using the
> Google Maps API on a free part of your site, you'll also meet
> the Google Maps API Terms of Use.

So, as long as the data that is entered with a Google Maps widget in
the admin is available on a public part of the site using the API, the
Google Maps API TOS should be satisfied. There is no sensible way for
GeoDjango to ensure that this limitation is obeyed by the web
developers, though, but I don't see this as a point against including
Google Maps widgets in the admin. Of course, IANAL.

Kind Regards,
Benjamin
