ok i have a couple of questions on the TOS for the map api 1. the Goolge Apps for Teams is a free service but only lets in users from my domain (ie secretagency.gov) i figured out how to iframe a map into a page in google sites in such a way that the map is inaccessible to the rest of the world. no one pays a fee to get to this map , but, we (via google) restrict who can get access.
Q: does this violate the TOS? 2. there is a data layer (TOS ="Your Content") on the map i just described. the sole purpose of the non public map is to facilitate restricting edits to the data layer to only those users authenticated via google apps for teams. Q: does this violate the TOS? 3. on a separate site i have a fully public map with all of the data shown for that data layer. the only difference between the first map and the second map is the utility for adding/editing data. Q: am i now complying with the TOS? my understanding is yes i am complying with the TOS because a. there is no "fee-based restricted access" in any of the parts above b. the purpose of parts 1. and 2. above is for developing data for part 3. which i see as being allowed under.. "your Maps API Implementation must not: (a) require a fee-based subscription or other fee-based restricted access; or (b) operate only behind a firewall or only on an internal network (except during the development and testing phase)." --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
