mythweather: no copyright display in forecasts or maps

[anonymous]

As of 0.22, there is no copyright displayed in the forecasts (18h/3days/6days) and maps/animations window. Since the ToS requires the display of a copyright notice for many sites including weatherbug and yr.no, this shortens the already short list of possible providers.

Most copyright notices seems to be short. One exception is yr.no, which requires that 93 characters are displayed in the same size as other text. The only way I can think of to implement this is some kind of stock ticker.

This also affects the affects interface to the grabbers, which need to send whatever notice required. BTW, I see no problem with a text like 'Data from NWS' even if not required by the ToS.

Yes, it was me submitting this one :-)

This is mostly a theming issue. The part that is actually defined in mythweather itself is due to be checked in shortly after the release of 0.23.

I have some test grabbers at ​ftp://mumin.dnsalias.net/pub/grabber_test.tar. Once installed as a directory under ...mythweather/scripts these offers a 'test' source, unrelated to the search string ( which just is ignored). The actual data provided is from the *txt files which are easy to patch. The grabbers offers basically everything besides the nws_alert, which seems to be us specific. All supplies the long yr.no copyright, which hopefully is worst-case.

Provisional logs in /tmp/mythweather-grabber-test.log.

I'm not sure what inspired these scripts... I have no idea what use they could be to me.

Anyways, the theme updates are nearly complete for all of the themes in SVN. I ran out of time tonight (being 2am), and just have Terra to go, and then all of the themes should be operational and TOS compliant. I hope to commit tomorrow.

(In [25152]) Each theme (in SVN) has now been hand tweaked for mythweather, allowing for the copyright on every page while not significantly changing the theme layout. Some of these were seriously messed up (metallurgy for example), but all look good to me now.

Closes #8253
