RSS feeds
When adding an RSS feed to Carousel, the default feed is Yahoo Top Stories. Are we allowed to freely use this content, or do we need to get the okay from Yahoo?
Thanks in advance.

Inappropriate?According to Yahoo's news feeds website:
quote:The feeds are provided free of charge for use by individuals and non-profit organizations for personal, non-commercial uses. We ask that you provide attribution to Yahoo! News in connection with your use of the feeds.
I'm not a lawyer, but it seems that as long as you're not charging your viewers for the content, you should be fine. Also, the default RSS template includes a copyright field, which displays the attribution to Yahoo! News.
If you have any concerns about it, you might be better off finding a different news source that you know you have rights to use.
