You have missed the quote above, from terms of use for Google<br>
Streetview, <br><br></blockquote><div><br>No. I did not miss any quote. ToU is about "Google Maps" and their third party aerial imagery, not about street view pictures. Aerial imagery is a different, more complex issue because images are transformed. So all derivated work about the geometry (like tracing) is correctly protectable. But the content itself still not. So if Google maps shows that my house is painted in pink color, anyone is allowed to use this information in his commercial product. But tracing the house in OSM is not allowed because you reuse the geometry and geoeferencing paid by someone else.<br>
