modification of a yahoo sample widget

Hi,
I've to develop a news application for one of our customers. The requirements are similiar to the features the yahoo news widget of the WDK already implements. So I'm wondering if i can just modify this widget (without using any images, ..as required in your TOUs) ? If so, how to add the copyright notice and the disclaimer ? Just in the javascript files, which were modified or in the about box ??
thanks

    Hi,
    because I got no response, I'm wondering if i expressed myself unclearly. What I wanted to know is, if I can take a sample application from Yahoo (eg news application), modify it (data retrieval, ..) and submit it to Yahoo for approval.
    thanks

  • No. The Yahoo! News widget is not a "sample" widget. It was only included in early WDKs to assist with early adopters on the platform. The code is copyrighted mostly proprietary code and as such since you have it, you can use it for inspiration, but wholesale copying with only very minor tweaks isn't allowed.
