The first is a hold-harmless: They don't want to be responsible for
stupid user tricks when you use Google Earth in a manner they can't
prove is safe.
The second is to allow them and their license-holders the right and
opportunity to see hard-copy output in large volumes.
I've discussed the first with them directly. They're intrigued by
Xastir (and APRS in general) and see it not as a violation. Even if
used in your car.

I'd take a good look at GE's license before attempting. It is decidedly
