"You also understand and agree that the Yahoo! Services *may* (my emphasis) include advertisements and that these advertisements are necessary for Yahoo! to provide the Yahoo! Services". Well this service returns a text string and no ads - so... And there's an attribution link directly to their browser based service. Or do I misunderstand the word "attribution"? http://info.yahoo.com/legal/us/yahoo/utos/utos-173.html > .. and the non-commercial bits may be > a problem for KDE distributors who sell their product for a profit.
