Their license seems to have a bit of a split personality probably because it's part standard boilerplate and part politics-specific. The 24-hour provision specifically is intended to protect the Guardian from libel claims, but I don't think politics data is really going to constitute libel in any case. As for mash-ups, it does say you're allowed to "Use the API Content as a basis for analysis and comparison". -- Russ Garrett [email protected] _______________________________________________ Mailing list [email protected] Archive, settings, or unsubscribe: https://secure.mysociety.org/admin/lists/mailman/listinfo/developers-public
