In my opinion it is not allowed to use the free Google Maps with QGIS
without public access.

   In my opinion it allowed to use the free Google Maps with QGIS
   without public access. 
   http://code.google.com/intl/de-CH/apis/maps/terms.html#section_7_1

   As an other option for you is to use OpenStreetMap. It is possible to
   embed OSM in conjunction with GDAL 1.7.0 into QGIS. Try to use the
   attached file as raster source with QGIS.

   Another restriction is the fixed projection of the tiles and the
   licence
   restrictions.

   However, given that in some regions, Google maps is one of the very
   few
   data sources available with ease, it is probably worth the effort.

   I am not sure if the Google maps licence would allow the embedding of
   Google maps data in Desktop GIS?
