Well, you may be right, but I'll describe what's my incentive to use PWS's data: I'm living in the city centre near the seashore, and there is a PWS located about 1 km from my home, giving pretty good correlation to my whether conditions; the airport on the other hand is some 30 km further to the land and in the countryside. The temperature differences between the two locations can be sometimes as much as 5C - which is pretty substantial. Another reason is the update intervals: the official one is updated every hour, when the PWS - every few minutes or even every few seconds, depending on the station. These slow updates can increase the difference even more - especially in the early morning or late evening. As to the usage permission: I think if you'll take the "query=lat,lon" field at the end of the <ob_url> string of the PWS and use it in the form of "http://api.wunderground.com/auto/wui/geo/WXCurrentObXML/index.xml?query=lat,lon"; which is officially permitted also, you will not violate any T&Cs mentioned there. But again, I'm not a lawyer, so if I'm wrong - please disregard it altogether.
