[mapguide-users] New Enterprise Mapguide Samples unable to download.

I'm not a lawyer either, but it's my understanding that as long as you're using the Google Maps published API (as OpenLayers/Fusion/MapGuide is) directly rather than scraping the data, it's a permitted use.

In order to enable Google layers under Fusion you need to sign up for your own API key though, so you'd want to pay attention to the terms:

>From a personal perspective, the only one I'd be worried about is certain layers accidentally obscuring the Google logo and TOS link.

IANAL, but is this legal under Google's terms of usage? I remember this legal
minefield with regards to the usage of Google Maps data.
