It is plausible Google can use copyright to make this requirement on sites that show the map data to others. However, getting and viewing the data yourself is a different issue entirely. It's simply illegal to use google-maps.el. I don't believe it. I doubt Google either would or could enforce copyright to stop individual users from looking at the maps.
