Sorry to hear it, but it seems that plenty of other applications felt the lawyers were worth it. I'm curious what exactly you believe the risk to be, except I don't think this comment is really made in good faith
I find the license very confusing - does any dataset generated from the database have to be released freely to anyone who asks? Or is it only a customer that purchases the dataset? Where is the distinction between a product of the db and the db, which are subject to different terms? For anything which isn’t displaying a standard base map it is confusing.
