The only issue is a scaling issue. Due to the traffic such a service would create we need to be able to support our own tile server and have a team that manages it. There is a bug around this. No legal issues as far as I'm concerned...

Which is why it has been dropped.
Also, please note that the topic of discussion is whether to move Nearby out of MobileFrontend. I understand now that WMF will/might need its own tile server before any sufficient progress can be made on this.
