[Vtigercrm-developers] VT6 & Google Map License

[Sreenivas Kanumuru]

i just received a call from a Google rep in India. She suggested getting
Enterprise license if we go over the threshold of 25,000 per day for the
SaaS version. I don't believe they are concerned about using it in a free
product, even if it is not publicly available. Unfortunately, i didn't
receive anything in writing.

Regards,
Sreenivas
