Currency Update (Automatic)

[Dayo]

Earlier versions of this mod used oanda and xe. However, they changed they terms of use to outlaw screen scrapping. So the mod was changed to the ECB feed to keep it legal.

The difference is that the admin script was written in 2006, before the terms of use were changed. Earlier versions of the mod were based on that code.

Still don't understand the legal thingy though...I don't understand that including an old script to a new version makes it legal

This one has me scratching my head as well.

As far as I can see, the older versions of the mod were exactly the same as the script in the ZC admin adjusted so it could run outside the ZC environment. How can the code in the older versions of the mod be illegal and that in the ZC admin be legal?

I understand the ZC admin code was written in 2006 before the change of the TOS on the sites but that does not seem to be a reasonable explanation with respect to new releases.

So can one of the devs please clarify whether the currency update code in the ZC Admin is legal or not with regards to the TOS of the sites used for updates? If it is, I can't see how the code in the older versions of this mod could have been illegal.

Just trying to see whether to continue using the older (illegal?) version since it covers currencies not covered by the ECB.

Thanks.
