Re: [syndication] What is the state of syndicated stock quote info?

[Rael Dornfest <rael@oreilly.com>]

While there doesn't seem to be any official word on whether or not Yahoo!
approves, some folks do avail themselves of Yahoo! Finance's stock quote
info.  Either Y! doesn't know -- extremely unlikely -- or doesn't really
mind.  Whether or not this applies to what you're trying to accomplish and
syndication in general, I'm not sure.

If you've not already done so, check out the following (easily port-able)
Perl modules:

Finance::YahooQuote

Finance::YahooChart
http://search.cpan.org/doc/DJPADZ/Finance-YahooChart-0.01/YahooChart.pm
