That is not anywhere free enough. "Text materials published on free-access RIA Novosti web sites may be reproduced by TV channels, radio stations, newspapers or magazines in quantities necessary for information purposes only and crediting RIA Novosti as the source."
Key phrase, "in quantities necessary" - so not all of it. I.e. they're being gracious and giving us the same rights as we already have. The bit about the RSS feed is also misleading. It will only be the actual feed content you may reproduce - a summary.

Could someone confirm this?
