Me neither, but I thought that these were terms imposed on the _developer_ writing an application that makes use of the APIs, not on the people who might use that application. Ie, on Julien. (The responsibility would fall on the FSF were such code in Emacs, as stated in section 2.3 of the terms.) If you are writing code to use someone's APIs to access their database, it does not seem an unreasonable expectation that you should first check what terms those APIs and the data are made available under. OpenStreetMap has much simpler terms. http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright
