I can't see why not.  Google doesn't own the gadgets.  But you will have to provide the equivalent API that Google provides if you expect all gadgets to work. ; Of course they may have patented some of the technology in the API.  IANAL, but I don't think that they can restrict the use of the names of the methods in their API, only the implementation of the methods, and then only if they have patents on the implementations.  Well, just to be sure, you might want to consult an IP attorney.

Hi,

Just wanted to know if I can invite Google Gadget developers to submit
their gadgets as is for use on a commercial, 3rd party web site -
meaning the gadget will be displayed on a commercial web site?

After all, it is just pure XML, and contains nothing proprietary to
Google, right?

I didn't see any reason why one can't, and couldn't find anything to
that effect on the terms & conditions page, but I maybe wrong - so
thought of checking to see what you guys might have to say about that.

Thanks,

Ravi
