[OSM-legal-talk] Can I publish Google Earth Pro images in a book?

[Kathy Bizzoco]

Hi, new to the forum, and appreciate any advice I can get.

I'm a small, independent publishing company and have a contract to 
publish a book written by an Vietnam Marine and CT police officer who, 
upon retiring, joined the Military Police and found himself in Iraq in 
charge of 20-somethings, and the other branches of the military are a 
bit irritated by their presence.

I've spent two days reading google's map copyright policies, and my head 
is so turned around, I don't know in which direction to look.

Does anyone know if I can use images of Iraq and Baghdad, using Google 
Earth Pro (because it offers high resolution image download, which I 
need for printing), as long as I include the stated "attribution" (i.e. 
copyright clause) under each map?

Thanks in advance!
