I don't see Google rushing to clarify this gray area, so I can only  
think that this is the intended status quo. They want to see what  
happens, while retaining a legal shotgun to blast away bits that they  
don't like.

So that seems quite clear to me. Google _do_ retain ownership over map  
derivatives, but they're just not exercising legal responses  
immediately. If you want to keep in the clear, do not use Google Maps  
(or Microsoft Virtual Earth).

As a side benefit, all those crappy mash-ups would go away! Yay! :)
