[QUOTE="Vitali Ortzi, post: 1123264, member: 57714"] Microsoft and google have done exactly the same and used other companies API without permission and judges agreed for it to fall under fair use and I can't see osprey case different except it doesn't have an army of lawyers in case a company decided to take legal action and unless osprey gets popular and you don't consider this to fall under fair use as I do and actual judges decided similar in many cases then only then and maybe a company will decide to take action and even then it will only give osprey a dmca notice to remove their api and comply and if he does you lose only one provider and probably people will already fork it and run forks (again not really illegal till a judge rules any fork is not actually fair use of that api but still the company that owns that api ) Btw many of apis used by osprey are allowed to be used for filtering some encourage their use and majority have some form of documentation about auth like usually apis do to make sure its not public well I don't think any apis used by osprey have any auth or are designed against public use [/QUOTE]
