It seems to be a sort of blabla from Yahoo. I think if you don't make business, there is no problem. The only problem i know with yahoo is that they can prohibit your access to their website after several requests during 1 days (with your IP). I often 'hacked' the yahoo financial site for an installation using PHP, MySQL and PD. I never had judicial problem. (i was living in france and take data from US yahoo financial website). You can use also www.accuweather.com. I use this site to make a small install (in real time) with datas using the wind and temperature. I never had problem. ++
