There is no licensing issue. xfce4-weather-plugin used to
retrieve its data from theweatherchannel.com using an
application-bound web API key. Free access to the web API was
terminated last year and the included key no longer works, the
package in home:vitezslav_cizek:branches:X11:xfce uses a key from
a different application which apparently still permits access. So
users of this package potentially violate the TOS of
theweatherchannel.com which is why upstream and the package in
Factory do not include it.
