Well it's a dilemma. After reading numerous Terms of Service I found
the following.
The Android Maps API Terms of Service (to be found here:
http://code.google.com/intl/en/android/maps-api-signup.html) state
that
> 5.4. Subject to these Terms, you may develop, display and/or distribute your Maps
> API Implementation as part of a commercial or non-commercial enterprise.
So I may sell my app in the Android market and don't need to
distribute it for free.
Furthermore this includes the use of the Geocoder class ("including,
but not limited to, the "android.location.Geocoder""). BUT in this
Terms of Service, the Google Geocoder API is not explicitly mentioned.
Consulting the Android developers reference (http://
developer.android.com/reference/android/location/Geocoder.html) it
says
> The Geocoder class requires a backend service that is not included in the core android framework.
Since I have no control over the "backend service" used, can I store
the data returned by the geocoder in the android framework without
limitation? I would say the situation is quite confusing!
