Are the terms something that MythTV could live with:

you would like to use the data for commercial purposes, please contact
support at mymovies.dk. This means that you may not use My Movies data in
commercial programs.. The only exception to this rule is when a user
manually uses the export feature in My Movies, in which case, the user
may use the exported data for all personal purposes, including imports
to other programs, commercial or non-commercial.
    * The data may only be used on devices owned by the user or the
household from which the data was exported on or the database was

such as handheld devices, but only as long as these devices is owned
