Can't find this posted elsewhere, but kind of following on from this thread from last year:
-------- From: @ordnancesurvey.co.uk] Sent: 11 February 2009 09:36 Subject: Microsoft Virtual Earth and Ordnance Survey Data Dear ALO I am please to inform you that through discussions between Ordnance Survey and Microsoft, a position has been reached which allows us to make the following announcement. We have been working closely with Microsoft and are pleased to confirm that Microsoft have now agreed to amend their current API general Terms of Use, Service Agreement and Service Order in respect of the Virtual Earth Platform to take into account third party data. This means that there is a limited risk of incompatibility with Ordnance Survey licence terms when using the Virtual Earth platform however you must ensure: 1. that you advise Microsoft that you are or intend to become an Ordnance Survey customer and 2. that you check the terms and conditions of any Microsoft agreement you are required to sign together with your Ordnance Survey licence agreements to ensure that you are able to comply with the terms of all of the agreements. Although final terms are not yet in place, the assurances we have received means we are able to release this positive news. Please direct ALL enquires to our MSA Helpdesk at [email protected] or telephone them on 02380 7927065. Regards -------- We are in the process on converting all our Google API maps over to Virtual Earth, ready for when this is finalized. Shame really as in my opinion the Google Maps API is generally better the the Virtual Earth API. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
