<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hello,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I wonder if anyone of you has used OpenLayers together with Google Maps on a company website yet…</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">We're doing experiments with OpenLayers and have done some testing with the Google Map implementation. With OpenLayers, there shouldnt be a problem to use it in a business environment, right?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">But with Google Maps…</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I went to the Google site and read trough both agreements, the "<B>Google Terms of Service</B>" and the "<B>Google Maps Terms and Conditions</B>". Among other things I found the following statement: "<B>You may not use the imagery in any commercial or business environment or for any commercial or business purposes for yourself or any third parties</B>". Does that mean that I can't display it on my company site or just, that I can't sell a product containing the Google Map implementation?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">There was another statement (I don't see it now) which said that I can only use Google Maps "as is", does that mean packing it inside OpenLayers isn't legal for productive use? </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Well I hope some of you can give me a hint on how to realize this or on where I can get the confirmation that the use of GoogleMaps / OpenLayers on my company website is legal.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Thanks</FONT>
