   Everyone using this plugin should be very sure they've read Reuters/Calais Web Services' Terms of Service, particularly this bit:

   You understand that Reuters will retain a copy of the metadata submitted by you or that generated by the Calais service. By submitting or generating metadata through the Calais service, you grant Reuters a non-exclusive perpetual, sublicensable, royalty-free license to that metadata.

   Which means they can take the content you submit for tagging and use it as they see fit and/or sell it to someone else.

   Always read the fine print.

   Your post content is not metadata. The API lets you submit your own tags and other metadata *about* content with the API call if you wish, which they're saying they may store.

   Look up the definition of metadata, they're not claiming they'll store your content.

   From Google "define:metadata":

   Commonly known as "data about data" it is the data describing context, content and structure of records and their management through time.
