Reverse geocode without using MKReverseGeocoder

I'm trying to detect current user address using MKReverseGeocoder passing coordinates obtained via CLLocation class. Reading MKReverseGeocoder Class Reference I noticed that

The Google terms of service require that the reverse geocoding service be used in conjunction with a Google map; take this into account when designing your application's user interface.

so I'm wondering if (and eventually how) can I reverse geocode user current location on iPhone OS SDK 3.1.3. I thought using Google Maps API but the EULA has the same obligation. Yahoo Maps API is even worse and Microsoft one aren't free.

Well if the EULA of Google has the obligation and you are not following it ( similar topic here), then of course you can't do it.

Still I would advice you to find some alternatives, what about this, it's free and doesn't look bad at all.
