Can I use maps for commercial projects?: Maps from Free SVG Maps may be used in commercial works as long as the proper attribution requirements are followed.

You CANNOT USE FREE MAPS at places like Cafe Press, Zazzle or any print on demand service or for Resale or Microstock.
What's the difference between Commercial Use and Items for Resale?: The largest difference in items for Resale is the map creates the substantial value of the product.

For example: if you print a book about maps and use maps throughout the book, the maps make up the value of the book and therefore it is considered an item for Resale. However, if you use maps to designate the sub-section in the book, or to illustrate an infographic, that is considered Commercial Use. In both cases, the book can be available for sale, the biggest determining factor is what is contributing most to its value.

Another example: if you download a map and use it on the front of a t-shirt, that maps is contributing to the success of selling your t-shirt and is therefore considered an item for Resale. But if you use the map on the tag to mark that it's from France, that is considered Commercial Use.
