Personally I'd rather have them within mappero. It is after all, quite a mature piece of software and has plenty of other maps in it; most notably open street map.
So, dear Orava, would you be willing to share the secrets of how you tease the maps out of paikkatietoikkuna
And perhaps tell a bit about the license:
E.g. http://www.maanmittauslaitos.fi/node/3960 Says that I have to pay at least 244 euros to get the maps via WMS.

As far as I know Mappero can only use map tiles that are in Slippy Map tile format, in which Paikkatietoikkuna's map tiles are not in. So there's no easy way to use Paikkatietoikkuna as a map source for Mappero. But you can try http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...2&postcount=48 or http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=890055&postcount=6 to get topo maps to Mappero.
Mapsi uses same WMS servers that Paikkatietoikkuna's web site uses and as Mapsi is a free non-commercial application I don't think it need any licenses.

Free or commercial, it does not matter. All kind of direct and/or external usage of Paikkatietoikkuna's WMS servers seems to be prohibited:
"Käyttäjällä tai muulla osapuolella on oikeus sijoittaa omille verkkosivuilleen linkki Paikkatietoikkunaan tai sen alasivuun. Linkin yhteydessä pitää näkyä Paikkatietoikkuna -nimi. Linkin kautta Paikkatietoikkunan tulee aueta selaimen tyhjään ikkunaan ilman kehyksiä. Muunlainen linkittäminen ja sisällön irrottaminen on näiden käyttöehtojen puitteissa kielletty."
Full license is described here:

I'd say that makes perfect sense. It doesn't matter if the application is free - it still consumes resources from the service and should be somehow controlled by the service owner (Paikkatietoikkuna).
Even free services and APIs (e.g. some Google APIs) require registration to use the API. Why? To keep some control on who uses the service and terminate the service for that user if it's used against the rules.
Orava I'd suggest you to check with Paikkatietoikkuna about the license before continuing further.

Great work getting us the maps from paikkatietoikkuna!
