[OpendTect_Users] Saving GMT scripts or Plotting Geographical Coordinates

[Artem Kashubin]

Dear Raman,

I wonder about that KML option and visualization in Google Earth. Do  
you (or someone) know about copy rights for the images generated in  
Google Earth (or Google Maps)? For example, if I would like to put  
these maps as a figure in my article or report, which are going to be  
published, do I need to request specific permission from Google?  
Technically it is their sattelite images...

Regards,
Artem Kashubin
