Another example of a server that translates Yahoo quotes into XML is
available at:
http://www.xmltoday.com/examples/stockquote/
However, their lawyers have been busy also, as the preamble to this
site includes the list of restrictions on reuse. But, I suppose that
you could legally use this for testing development of a Portlet, then
require your customer/user to purchase the datafeed from Reuters...

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.
