  Hey I have a question about the maps API terms of use and I was hoping
  someone could clerify this for me or tell me where I should be asking
  this question. The following section:
 
  9.1 Free, Public Accessibility to Your Maps API Implementation. Your
  Maps API Implementation must be generally accessible to users without
  charge. You may require users to log in to your Maps API
  Implementation if you do not require users to pay a fee. Unless you
  have entered into a separate written agreement with Google or obtained
  Google's written permission, your Maps API Implementation must not:
 
  (a) require a fee-based subscription or other fee-based restricted
  access; or
  (b) operate only behind a firewall or only on an internal network
  (except during the development and testing phase).
 
  Does that mean I can not charge for apps I write that use the API at
  all or does it mean after the initial price for buying the app I can't
  require the user to continue to pay to use the app or deny access to
  them if they don't pay?
