Hmmm. How do sites like indeed.com and simplyhired.com get away with taking Craigslist data then? They take data from all sorts of sites and index them into one job database. Google.com indexes all of craigslist. You can search google.com for craigslist content.

I don't see the big deal. They may say "you can't use our data" but Craigslist data is indexed everywhere on the internets.

By "open their database" we meant anything dealing with taking their
data. This includes RSS feeds and screen scraping. All of their data
no matter how you get it is covered in the TOS.

Section 12

And the bit about 'getting a license' is pretty much impossible.
