Following on from the withdrawl of the contentious clause from googles
chrome browser - e.g. 
http://www.pcpro.co.uk/macuser/news/222792/google-drops-claim-to-chrome-content.html
should I be even more worried that its still in a range of their other
products - e.g. Picasa and the google maps api - or are they going to
remove it from those as well ?

In the UK the OS regulalry claim rights to derived data to the Nth
degree - even a GPS position that has been checked against a map of
theirs they consider derived - this could mean that they consider that
just about anyone in the UK adding data onto a google map would be in
breach of OS copyright.

Surely this isn't what google wants or means - if they can remove it
from Chrome - why can't they remove it from the maps TOU - hopefully
its just an oversight that will rapidly be rectified - otherwise I'll
have to look at Virtual Earth again.

Any views ?
