Does anyone know if it is actually possible to use Yahoo! Pipes commercially?
I have always wanted to use Pipes, but unless I am misreading the Terms of Use (1.f.iv), it seems to suggest that you are not allowed to derive any income from any service that uses it.
- smitts 16y agoLooks like you could ask Yahoo: YOU SHALL NOT: Sell, lease, share, transfer, or sublicense Yahoo! Pipes or derive income from the use of Yahoo! Pipes in conjunction with Yahoo! APIs or other web services, whether for direct commercial or monetary gain or otherwise, without Yahoo!'s prior, express, written permission; http://info.yahoo.com/legal/us/yahoo/pipes/pipes-4396.html http://info.yahoo.com/legal/us/yahoo/pipes/pipes-4396.html
- anigbrowl 16y agoBrilliant promotional strategy you've got there Yahoo. I'm perplexed as to why a company releases a brilliant product (I love graphical programming compared to coding) and then discourages people from using it for anything serious. No wonder they're in decline.
- joeuser12 16y agoNote that the Google Maps API have very similar terms. Most people ignore those terms, of course, but technically you need to pay Google at least $10,000/year to use their Maps API for any sort of commercial project.
