There's plenty of other non-copyrighted maps out there.

NASA's Worldwind is a 3d globe satellite view. No maps but it's where google gets a lot of their stuff.
Most counties/state in the USA are supporting satellite/road/etc. maps on their websites.

Can you be more specific?

Be careful asking for more specifics. More often than not, you'll be patted on the head and dismissed with a "Thank you."

Thanks for the replies.

It is a local Copenhagne place, so I have contacted a local danish on-line map and asked for their permission to use a screenshot of their map, and since the project is for a non-profit org. I hope they will allow it without charge.

Nice to see a short ToS for a change. Even then, do lawyers take courses in "Advanced convolution of simple messages"?

Legalese is not fun to read :)
