Not Google maps data, data from web pages returned by a Google search. I 
don't think Google puts restrictions on what you can do with information 
on web pages found using their search, does it?

The owner of the web page might technically have a claim, but each 
address will come from a different page, and anyway, people put their 
addresses on web pages because they want people to _find_ them, right? 
That's what we are doing.
