Intellectual property owners can be very aggressive in going after suspected infringement. And I think the most prudent thing to do is to respect the copyright and use the maps as suggested on Halfmile's site.

Yes, I also put in the "I'm not a lawyer" caveat.  It would seem though that with a restrictive view of the license terms it would be prohibited to purchase the TOPO software and to share the printing costs with a second person even though I could legally give them a copy that I printed.  Without purchasing the TOPO software, a restrictive view of the license would prevent me from even making a copy of a map that was given to me by the owner of the software.
