The "national TV" part is making you appear ridiculous.  Would 
free GNU software change their license because a "national TV" 
station wanted to use it differently?  Would the pope give up on 
abortion because a "national TV" station asked him?  Come on.

We have a license, and that's fine.  Take it or leave it.
If you have a better idea, go implement your own free map.
Hey, that's what we did.  The Ordnance Survey didn't want to 
change their licensing, so we built our own.  So could you.
