It seems to be a sort of blabla from Yahoo.
I think if you don't make business, there is no problem.
The only problem i know with yahoo is that they can prohibit your  
access to their website after several requests during 1 days (with  
your IP).
I often 'hacked' the yahoo financial site for an installation using  
PHP, MySQL and PD. I never had judicial problem. (i was living in  
france and take data from US yahoo financial website).
You can use also www.accuweather.com. I use this site to make a small  
install (in real time) with datas using the wind and temperature. I  
never had problem.
