Ask HN: Question related to use of RSS feeds for product

1 points| kamilszybalski | 11 years ago | reply

Hey everyone, I'm wondering if someone could provide clarification around how apps such as flipboard, zite, feedly, etc. are sourcing content via RSS, or other, legally. As I understand it, usage of RSS in many cases is limited to "non-commercial" use, all of the above mentioned have a commercial attribution to them.. Is it that they don't use RSS, have agreements with publishers... OR? Any thoughts appreciated.
