Description

Would it make sense to add a paragraph about rights of use of obtained maps somewhere in the docs? I'm thinking of that because I think the two advantages of using this package to produce basemaps is:

  • Customization!

  • Open data!

And I'd like to add something about how the second point means you can legally do more with the map you obtain than if you made a map using a Google background (if I'm correct).

Research direction

Review the repository documentation and verify the rights-of-use claims for maps produced from OpenStreetMap data versus Google backgrounds before choosing where the paragraph belongs. Done means the documentation clearly explains the relevant legal differences without making unsupported claims.
