Hmm...the following is from http://www.nearmap.com/legal/community-licence.aspx:

"If you derive information from observing our PhotoMaps, and include
that information in a work, you will own that work, and may distribute
it to others under a Creative Commons licence."

Does that not imply that the derived information may only be
distributed to others "under a Creative Commons licence"? Maybe I'm
reading this incorrectly?
