I get this, and I'm a great believer in the protection of intellectual property, but I'm puzzled about the change. Before yesterday, Google's map service seemed to feel that the intellectual property of its data providers was protected in some other way, but now they must be protected by listing them severally even when the list defaces the map, and the page it's in. I'm not seeing the rationale for this change in policy. > There is a case for Google's own CSS to be better behaved though: text > on the map should be kept on the map. Yes, at the very least. Surely with all the UI possibilities open to Google, some more satisfactory solution could be found. > Previously there were only isolated examples. But now more? What changed?
