 From http://www.google.com/permissions/geoguidelines.html:
 > Attribution is the line(s) shown on the bottom of the Content in the
 products along with copyright notices, such as “©2011 Google, Map Data
 ©2011 Tele Atlas.” (The exact text of the attribution changes based on
 geography and Content type.) The attribution text must be legible to the
 average viewer or reader. The automatically-generated Google logo and
 attribution text may only be removed or obstructed if reintroduced in a
 visible form elsewhere within the Content.

 Now we don't render the Google.maps.Map instance, so we don't get an
 "automatically-generated Google logo and attribution text", but I think we
 should provide the attribution as good as we can anyway. And there are two
 shortcomings with the current solution:

  * Clicking our "Map Data" link displays the copyrights outside the
 content (i.e. in a new window).
  * When {{{wrapDateLine: true}}} is not set, the white "Terms of Use" link
 is not legible to the average viewer or reader.
