@crofty What is the license on the code that was available from http://matchingnotes.com/using-google-map-tiles-with-leaflet
(the url does not work, as checked 2019-08-26). There is an archived version of the page at https://web.archive.org/web/20180728014324/http://matchingnotes.com/using-google-map-tiles-with-leaflet

Okay, the code behind http://matchingnotes.com/javascripts/leaflet-google.js seems still be available at https://gist.github.com/crofty/2197701

The code is non-trivial, so it will be copyrightable. Without explicit licensing there is no permission for others to use the code.

Did somebody else see an explicit or implicit hint about who is the copryight holder and how this person wants the code to be used?
(Implicitely putting it up as example of gist.github.com by croft does not clarify the two points.)

Followup on the licensing status of leaflet-google.js see https://gist.github.com/crofty/2197042#gistcomment-3008148, it's copyright @shramov and probably Free Software under MIT.
