Thanks Frederik and Martin, then I guess I'll just go ahead and publish. I thought there might have been already some exchange between Google/Bing and some OSMers publishing slides, but if there isn't I'll just go along with the fair use.

[OSM-legal-talk] Question on publication of slides with Google and Bing screenshots
Hi, I gave a talk this weekend introducing new mappers to OSM. For this talk I prepared a slide set, which includes quite some screenshots of both GoogleMaps and Bing Maps as well as some of their aerial imagery, in order to compare these services to OSM. Now I would like to publish this slide set (i.e. put the slides up for download) under a license as nonrestrictive as possible. Skimming through the Google and Microsoft Terms of Use I came to the conclusion that it would be ok to publish under a cc-by-sa-nc license (the nc seems to be necessary) when I additionally limit the use to educational purposes. To be hones, the license reading was quite confusing and frustrating. I couldn't really pull out crystal clear information from these texts. So my question is: Is my conclusion right, can I publish under less restrictive terms, or do I need to remove the shots in order to publish at all?

You should ask Google and Bing about this, it is not related to OSM ;-) cheers, Martin ___ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk

The concept of fair use is different in different jurisdictions and content providers have a history of trying to abolish fair use altogether (oops, I've quoted a sentence of yours above, do I have to pay royalties now...). Still, my own working assumption is that if in a talk about maps I include an example of Google maps then it's fair use and I'm not bound by their respective license terms.
