[Sugar-devel] [HELP] Writing activity that requires api key

[James Cameron]

Whether it is safe for you depends on the terms and conditions of the
agreement between you and the API vendor.

For Sugar Labs to host and distribute your software, we require your
source code to be covered by a license that would reveal the API key.

It should be up to you how you resolve those two legal issues.

If you need Sugar Labs to enter into an agreement with the API vendor,
contact the oversight board.  We would still reveal the key though.

We have two other activities that have an API key clearly identified
in the source code.  Random quote generator in TurtleBlocksJS,
and currency conversion in Convert activity,
