I see no problem in correcting

Also you are wrong about referral header. You assumed that all conditions are in one place - and this is not safe assumption. You can find TOS on other pages too - this particular you will find here:
http://code.google.com/intl/pl-PL/ap...l#_intro_fonje
"
Applications MUST always include a valid and accurate http referer header in their requests."
Big letters in MUST are not added by me - it is written this way in Google documentation, so i think that clearly marks Google position in this area

Different word - same meaning

and same results. And I think that everybody understood it correctly.
BTW - Are you a lawyer? I'm looking one, because some guy stole my code, and I see that you like to use exact words, even if substitute has same meaning, so I thought that maybe you can help me with my issue

If yes please PM me - thanks:up:

I'm confused why you are still confused - you get exact answer from Google. So if you think they are wrong, please contact them and discus their position. I cannot tell you why they interpret it in such way. But I can tell you that not applying you put yourself in a risk to be banned ("blocked to use the API"). And if you want to know why I give this information to my user, then the answer is very simple:
because I care about my users
So is there really any issue or it is only about using exact words from documentation and being better in reading it?
You are better

and I still care about my users, so my recommendation is still the same - use Google logo
Reading 2 posts in row about the same + PM, I get impression that it is only about proving some point and It has totally no reflection in reality since you applied Google logo yourself. So what is the real point here, and can we close it?

Yes I said.

Stress - not at all. Pressure - of course yes. Every second counts when my users are in danger of being banned ("blocked to use the API" - sorry, but banned is just simpler

), so I made all changes, made tests and give people what makes them safe as fast as I could. I didn't thought to discuss with Google about wrong TOS interpretation by their own staff.
Truly saying I still don't see the point - what is the point of having right when you loose and your forum is banned?...
When people are with me, they are with the man who thinks how to win...
Sounds like commercial

haha
