Doesn't the first blatantly violate the non-commercial only nature of the license?
I'm not sure. At first thought, it would seem that it would but there are heaps of commercial mashups that have been done thus far and any reading I've done in the terms of use in the API don't point to any restrictions. The only restrictions are if the site that is being used is used for a fee. If it's walk-up use for no charge (even ad supported), it's fine. The other restriction I've seen is for internal intranet use within corporations. Here is a posting I did a while back on the topic:
