Android: gTraffic UK and BBC Data

I think it might be worth pointing out that the gTraffic Android application does not break the Terms and Conditions applied to the BBC Traffic data. The biggest singular reason for this being that it is free. It will always be free because (unless I strike a deal with the BBC, TrafficLink and the Highways Agency) that is the main condition of use. See for yourselves here. I did see an argument on the comments for the iPhone traffic app which tried to reason that anything using the data was basically an RSS reader but I understand perfectly well that this is not the case. It is the data which comes under the Terms and Conditions and no amount of pre-processing it changes that.
