 As of 0.22, there is no copyright displayed in the forecasts
 (18h/3days/6days) and  maps/animations window. Since the ToS requires the
 display of a copyright notice for many sites including weatherbug and
 yr.no, this shortens the already short list of possible providers.

 Most copyright notices seems to be short. One exception is yr.no, which
 requires that 93 characters are displayed in the same size as other text.
 The only way I can think of to implement this is some kind of stock
 ticker.

 This also affects the affects interface to the grabbers, which need to
 send whatever notice required. BTW, I see no problem with a text like
 'Data from NWS' even if not required by the ToS.
