Good news for developers, which eventually translates into more coolness for netizens, if the following turns out to be true. According to Zvents CEO, Ethan Stock:

More on this tomorrow, but I just got off the phone with the Yahoo Maps team, and they said that tomorrow they will be removing the “non-commerical only” clause from their TOS [Terms Of Service].

Note to self: keep an eye on their TOS. As mentioned yesterday, developers don’t want to use APIs with lots of ifs ands and buts which means keep the fine print to a minimum if you want your API to actually be widely used. Also noticed that Yahoo has added some spiffy web badges for display on programs that use Yahoo Web Services.

Hat tip to Scoble.
