Not only does MSNBC follow Yahoo!News' lead in providing a recently added News feed of their own, but it appears that they have snagged a copy of Yahoo's TOS as well.
See Jeff Boulter's side by side comparison of the TOS.
"Jeff is an engineering manager for Yahoo News and one of the driving forces behind Y! News RSS", says Jeremy Zawodny and adds, "Apparently the lawyers at MSNBC would rather copy Yahoo's "terms of use" for RSS than start from scratch."
This isn't the first time that MS has "borrowed" something, but it is the first time that I have seen this much blatancy while doing it.
