I think the license you're pointing to is where we will wind up (still
having internal discussion about which license best suits our needs).

If anyone wants to play with data now just ping me and feel free to do
so in a non-commercial way (or if you want to do commercial let me
know and we can discuss). We're open to anything right now.

Question: Is it possible to pull search results from Grub currently?
We would consider putting them on pages where we don't have a result.
Not sure they're ready for primetime yet.

Suggestion: I think the formation of a global spam URL/not-trusted URL
system between Wikia, Mahalo, and other interested parties would be a
great project. Basically have trusted parties insert untrusted links
into a database and parties can then use that data to block things
like comment spam on their blogs, submitted URLs on social
news/bookmarking sites (digg,propeller, delicious), or a search
engine/service (Mahalo, Ask, etc).
