When this was added, Zenoss Inc indicated that they had a separate agreement with Google plus distribution rights to cover that issue (that is, Zenoss installs can "ignore" that section 9.1).
I'm not sure where that was posted besides the forums, so a forum search may be in order. I think this probably is a missing bit of documentation, and may need to be an added license document that Zenoss hands out with the install. I assume if you take the GPLed version of Zenoss and were going to rebrand and redistribute, you'd have to get your own Google agreement though. -- James Pulver Information Technology Area Supervisor LEPP Computer Group Cornell University HummerBoy wrote, On 4/28/2009 6:26 PM: > Has anyone noticed this in the Google Maps API Terms of Use?
