What does this mean??
It means you need to stop stealing other peoples stuff
It means that in the next version (0.92) information will not be downloaded automatically from AMG anymore.
Spidey i don't feel like i was stealing. TS did a query in their public web server, filtered the results and saving them in the users storage (like an offline browser actually). Moreover i haven't got a penny for that.
Sometimes all it takes is to not remove the copyright notice, and they won't mind. However, your program might generate more traffic for their site than they would want to "give away", so they might want to charge you for using their work. Hard to say--you'd have to ask them (or should have asked them before doing it). Like you said, there are other places to get some, or all, of the info.
did you have permision to use said program? If not you were stealing information.
Maybe means that you cannot use the name in the menu... You could avoid the name... but you could use a web server.... it is public...
