Don't worry. Google will cave eventually, then everyone will be praising the bureaucrats that stuck to their guns to get a windfall licensing deal out of Google!

The point is that the data should be available to the public under a license such as Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 (used for other government data). Governments aren't about making a profit and I doubt Google will pay a cent for this data anyway when other governments are giving it to them for free.
