access to different types of data from Yahoo and allows you
to build powerful commercial search applications with that

Yahoo can bring its infrastructure to bear for you and
through BOSS gives that data and the tools to access that
data easily.

terms so that you can monetize that innovative product
and continue to invest your personal time in it.
