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:

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._______________________________________________
