That's my interpretation of it. Everyone on the internet has to be
able to get at your application -- you can force everyone to login if
credentials are free and easy to get -- but not everyone has to be
able to get at your back-end functionality. You may even be able to
get away with charging for access to your back-end stuff provided that
the front-end is the same for everyone. "Your maps implementation must
not *require* a fee-based subscription or other fee-based restricted
access" (my emphasis)

For what it's worth, Gregory has said much the same thing, except that
I reckon that the front-end code should be the same for everyone, so
the panel containing the checkboxes should be built using AJAX from
the back-end database. That's possibly a moot point though.

This post represents my opinion and nothing here should be construed
as definitive legal advice.
