The TOS does seem to be a bit vague. If I design my app as a collection of disjoint web services, and decide to implement each web service in a different app, is that subverting the quota system?
Let's say I was writing a facebook clone. I might have an image processing service, a 'profile editing' service, and a feed publishing service. If my client side code makes calls to all three of these services, does that mean i've subverted the quota system?
