This looks like a cool library, but I have a question about the newscatcher API. How does the licensing work for the content? Seems odd (but great) that I can just read the news in my terminal from NYT but not pay a subscription or see ads. I read in some of the comments it's an RSS feed, is that freely available all the time? Surely even the RSS feed is protected with copyright and has restrictions on republishing?
If that's not the case, the larger implication here that the news is free if it's in a format that is not as widely used (RSS) compared to what the mass populous uses (mobile browsers/app).
I'm genuinely curious how this works but maybe it's being perceived as "I'm entitled to free stuff on the internet" (I am definitely not one of those people).

Cool library, thanks for sharing!
