But, I want to point out the following from Yahoo's License:

                   10. NO RESALE OF SERVICE

                   You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, 
resell or exploit for any
                   commercial purposes, any portion of the Service, use of 
the Service, or access
                   to the Service.

So, if you're setting up somebody that will be selling advertising, etc, 
you'll have to sublicense the data from Yahoo.  It's pretty nasty really, 
but I wanted to point it out.
                                                 -Mike
