Google does say that certain information displayed is proprietary and may not be 
provided to others.

"any unauthorized copying or reproduction of the content in any form, or by any 
means, is not permitted"

"You may not attempt to reverse engineer any output that would allow the 
recreation of any digital mapping data, including but not limited to any form of 
geocodes."

"you may not distribute, sell, rent, sublicense, or lease such information, in 
whole or in part to any third party; and you will not make such information 
available in whole or in part to any other user in any networked or time-sharing 
environment, or transfer the information in whole or in part to any computer 
other than the PC used to access this information"
