The terms of use for the weather feeds are listed at 
<http://developer.yahoo.com/weather/#terms>, although Marco brings up a good 
point.  In this case assume there's no need to move this to kdereview until this 
is resolved.

I'd actually considered scripting the 'ion' (as Shawn had also suggested in the 
past) but I didn't see any examples of writing a DataEngine (in javascript--
which I wanted to use) so I assumed it wasn't possible at the time.
