[open-sustainability] Fwd: Weather Data for Forestry

[alberto abella]

I cannot see any 'open' terms in your web. It is true that it seems you
offer some free (cost) data. But are you releasing any data for reuse?

On the other hand I cannot see anything resemble to be in the 'open'
economy. 

Your legal terms for registering 
http://www.awhere.com/en-us/awhere-privacy-policy
Are not 'open friendly' and besides this when registering you cannot see
what rights you have for using your tool/data (but for copyright).

If this was the case, why should we talk about a private company?

It is good to know that it exists but .... If I am right this service is
not aligned with OKFN principles.
