So my question becomes: what are MS licensing expectations for * *large *(>125,000 pa sessions) *using OSM data* * *password-protected*/intranet/internal applications *using OSM data*
I understand the work they have put into the control - but given its support for custom tile layers the licensing seems a bit unclear in that case? Is there any concept of using/licensing the control *seperately* from the Bing Maps "product"? cd On Wed, Nov 11, 2009 at 9:43 AM, David Burela <[email protected]>wrote: > Well according to their site, a lot of use is free.
