So you cannot make a map and then start reverse engineering, since you are bound by the license/contract, but a random user of the map can do this. I think such a clause makes a lot of sense. You cannot make a special purpose rendering, showing just the information you want to reverse engineer, and at just the right scale, to circumvent the license. On the other side, things like normal geocoding of images would be no problem. I don't think anyone see any need for users releasing their picture database. This can also, to a limited degree, be a larger loophole if large amounts of maps are distributed as SVG or other formats that are easier to reverse engineer from. I still think it is reasonable to be perfectly clear that things like geocoding images are allowed, without any need to share the result. - Gustav
