Commercial Use/Terms Agreements #62

Open matthewjonesvsp opened 7 years ago

matthewjonesvsp commented 7 years ago

I have done a lot of research and a majority of what I have found is a few years old. Is there any update in regards to using any of the providers in a commercial application (for profit)? This is by far the best framework that I have worked with. I hope it continues to grow. My only concern is that if I was to publish an application to the market, what issues I would be dealing with. I am fully aware of the articles and posts online about this a few years ago, however I am not fully understanding of the innerworkings of the framework.

Just looking for some insight...

Keep up the great work.

well each provider has its own 'rules' about tile access, dunno how much they actually valid, use by default openstreet provider and probably nobody will care

I understand, I'm just curious as the older posts are somewhat dated, have you had any more issues from Google, Bing, so forth?

I mean it's by far one of the best frameworks out there. Are you aware of anyone else using it in a commercial application? I'm using Winforms. I'll say again, great work.
