 Replying to [comment:9 maverik044]:
 > To meet the terms of the weather.com SDK for the XML feed, the
 weather.com logo needs to be displayed.  Technically link to the web site
 also.  We need to at least get the logo there.  I don't think the code
 currently supports this, some changes may be needed to display a logo
 depending on the data source.  Perhaps an option to the script could be
 added to provide the file name of the logo to display.  I believe that I
 have packaged the logo in icon4.zip.

 I think there is more to it than just putting a logo in. Item no. 3 in the
 license agreement says there should be 3 links plus a logo that links to
 the weather.com home page. The three links are links provided by them that
 could link to their site or to some third party advertising.

 I did start to register for the xml feed but when I read the license
 agreement I decided I didn't agree with it so never complete the
 registration.

 Personally I don't think there should be any advertising in Myth at all. I
 believe that to fully comply with their licence there will have to be
 active links that are supposed to open a web browser to show these links.
 How are the other programs using there feed getting around this?

 I should say I'm no lawer and only glanced though the licence.
