To make your application work, since V3, no API key is needed, nor any
Google account (no authentication). For legality issues, it seems the
legal pages are a bit outdated, since they still mention the API key
(http://code.google.com/intl/fr/apis/maps/terms.html).
The timestamp for that legal page ("Google Maps/Google Earth APIs
Terms of Service") is may 27 2009, but the V3 API has been released in
april or may 2010...
As mentionned here (http://code.google.com/intl/fr/apis/maps/
documentation/javascript/), the API is "free and available for any
website that is free"... So, if your website is free of use (at least
for the pages with Maps API), everything should be fine...
I hope someone from Google legal dept could confirm that.
