Indeed. It's thus not really a technical issue, but a legal one. To my
surprise, I find that the problem was reported as a bug way back in
Oct. 08. <http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?
id=824>. For what it's worth, I have commented the bug report to the
effect that what's needed is a policy change rather than a bug-fix.
I'm not a frequent visitor here so I don't know how close an eye the
Google folks keep on the discussion, but it would be nice if someone
from Google could weigh in, or clarify. Though my fix is consistent
with the spirit of the TOU, I'm not comfortable with the fact that it
violates the letter (and is anyway a pretty fragile fix as others have
pointed out). The alternative, however, is unacceptable, since doing
nothing at all about it pretty dramatically ruins the design of the
page.
