Depends on which interpretation approach you're using: Bold-first or Fear-first.
Firstly, the term states that "You may not store content from Base within or through a Base API Implementation." Pretty solid, right? But then it states that " You may not...store or use Content queried from Base in a manner that permits use of the Content outside of Google's services or Your Base API Implementation" I'm taking the Bold-first approach. Personally I would never feel Fear, Uncertainty or Doubt about storing information as long as it would mean more relevant Google Base hits for the users, effectively leading to a more lucrative business for both me and Google. /Peter Odéus On Mon, Nov 16, 2009 at 2:59 PM, Tom Wilson <[email protected]> wrote: > I think this section of the terms is pretty clear : > > '1.3 Real-Time Queries Only and No Content Removal.
