Micello has a licensing modelto make its map/data content available to third party application developers,internet mapping companies, events and venues, business campuses and personalnavigation devices. Third party application developers may license the indoormaps for free if they include Micello’s advertising content. 

Micello's indoor maps are geo-accurate. The maps are not just images or pictures, but have the "plumbing" underneath to allow each object to be individually manipulated. It's a map file, similar to what is used in "outdoor" maps.
