(sorry, i didnt finish see changes below.)

- any information derived from using the service (ie. research) is owned by
you, and distribution of that information must be under a CC-BY-SA license
(see http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/).

Even if your use was classified as commercial, the only restrictions that
are added are that you don't exceed 100,000 tiles a month, or compete with
the organization (paraphrasing).

Regardless of what I perceive the 'rules' to be, you should still have a
read of the terms yourself.  Its a pretty light read compared to *some* license
agreements.
