From the site of the author of 'gaia', an attempt to reverse engineer Google Earth..

"25 November 2006, I've got the letter from Michael Jones, the Chief Technologist of Google Earth, Google Maps, and Google Local search, requesting to cease reverse engineering and improper usage of licensed data that Google Earth use. I understand and respect Google's position on the case, so I've removed all downloads from this page and we ask everybody who have ever downloaded gaia 0.1.0 and prior versions to delete all files concerned with the project, which include source code, binary files and image cache (~/.gaia)."
