The only people who can't use it are those trying to incorporate it in to a commercial work, like say....oh, I don't know....PocketDay.
We're not setting any precedents here. Do a quick search and you'll find hundreds of free applications already using the Yahoo Weather API. You'll find desktop applications, mobile applications, web applications, the list goes on and on.

"Fine" is a relative thing, I guess. I've been reading the thread with much dismay. I loved the ability to pull 10 day forecasts with BBWeather for planning purposes. I read that Yahoo provides 1 day, and that's certainly not "fine" in my opinion.
With Yahoo giving 1 day of forecast and Google 3 days, I wonder if there's any good source out there for the kind of in-depth weather and forecasts up to 10 days out that BBWeather has provided us all.
