Can you confirm that the data came from sources compliant with the license

the ourairports.com data came from Google.
I spoke with the owner of the site and he was able to confirm that the Google
Geocoder was used for the sole purpose of converting the lat/long data into a
"human readable" format Location String in the format
<city>,<region>,<country> (for display on the site).
It was not used to gather specific locations for airports or other
information.
Since I'm not storing these details in the node metadata, would there still
be an issue?
No. But even if it was used for OSM data, I wonder where the T&C at
Google.com would prohibit the use of the Geocoder in a project.
