InfoWorld | at | by Mike
In an effort to drum up support for its Windows Live hosted services, Microsoft has changed the terms of use for APIs to key services, including Windows Live Search, to allow companies to use information and leverage Microsoft's back-end infrastructure for their Web-driven businesses.
Microsoft is releasing the APIs under new terms for the following services: Windows Live Contacts, Windows Live Photo, Silverlight Streaming, Windows Live Search, Windows Live Virtual Earth, and Windows Live ID. Microsoft has outlined the terms of use for the APIs on the Windows Live Dev site.
