But if I use their stylesheets and their site to generate maps, they can restrict what I can do with the resulting renderings, right? http://cloudmade.com/terms_conditions : "CloudMade grants you permission to use the CloudMade Site as set forth in these Terms, provided that and for so long as (i) you use the CloudMade Site solely for your personal use; (ii) except as expressly permitted or indicated in these Terms, you do not download, reproduce, redistribute, retransmit, publish, resell, distribute, publicly display or otherwise exploit any portion of the CloudMade Site in any medium without CloudMade's prior written authorization;..." "(b) Any use by you of any of the CloudMade Materials and CloudMade Site other than for your personal use is strictly prohibited. You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, trade, resell, distribute, or exploit any portion of the CloudMade Site, use of the CloudMade Site, access to the CloudMade Site, or Non-CloudMade Content obtained through the CloudMade Site, for any purpose other than for your personal use." Also, I object to any company which has terms which say "you must agree to break the web": "(k) You agree not to deep-link to the CloudMade Site and will promptly remove any links that CloudMade finds objectionable in its sole discretion." That page is utterly user-unfriendly. If it said at the top "Stuff You Can Do" and "Stuff You Can't Do (Without Asking Us)", and had a couple of short lists with common things, that would be much better.
