Copyright Infringement question regarding maps

Hello everyone! I wish to publish a paperback module. First I plan to distribute a "beta version" (ie part one of the series), to gauge feedback and see if I should go through with publishing the series. If I understand the previous posts on copyright then I am to believe that:  1. I can use this website's map making tools and their Internet gallery of collected art for the free demo module. 2. When I publish the module for sale, then I will need original work (maybe I cannot even use roll20's drawing tools). Am I understanding this correctly? Any help you can give is greatly appreciated.

Ah, so I need to use some other program to make maps. Any recommendations?

I use Gimp and Inkscape. Inkscape is used for all of the lines, shapes, and text. Gimp is used for all of the colors, textures, and fine detail. My recommendation is to hire an artist to create the maps for you, they will look considerably better than using an online program. Plus, when you use an online program, those familiar with it will immediately point it out.
I plan to, but for the published version. For the demo version I just need something decent enough to garner support.
