On this note, there is no real discussion of the copyright and
licensing issues on this page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Obtaining_geographic_coordinates#Google_tools

It says :
There are various ways to obtain geographic coordinates. Note that
regardless of the source of coordinates, it is good practice to
evaluate whether they appear reasonable at first glance.

Be sure to read the licensing information carefully so that data
providers receive an appropriate attribution.

So how are these coordinates being attributed?
