I'm not altogether sure yet of the license the renderings will be under - I'm the technical, not the legal guy. I don't suspect it will be too restrictive, though I'm pretty sure we will want to limit access (particularly batch downloads) to the tile server itself to the users of our iPod/iPad/iPhone software - after all, we wouldn't want to be paying for high volumes of Internet traffic to our server by competing apps downloading tens of thousands of tiles :-) I think high volume access to our server would be the biggest issue, and don't anticipate there will be much of a problem with people using the renderings themselves for whatever purpose they want (with the standard liability disclaimers) as long as volume is low or they are using the software we provide (which adds a few layers of additional logic to aggressively cache images unless the server-side renderings change significantly - again, to keep the bandwidth down as much as possible).
All I know for sure though are that the details haven't been finalized yet.
