Widgets using weather.com feed are: ClearWeather, SmoothWeather, Weather, WidescapeWeather. All are from indiv-screenlet s package. All of them are actually using same code(copy/paste) for weather.com feed. Feed works ok with API key, i assume that that is Whises API key. Maybe weather.com gave him key for free with some restrictions?
About Weather API, we could implement different feeds so developers can choose from which feed they want to pull weather data.

Title:
  weather.com data feed license

Status in Screenlets — individual widgets development:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  weather.com data feed is no longer free
  (http://www.tropicdesigns.net/blog/weather-com-suddenly-cancels-their-
  free-xml-data-feed-for-developers/). We should change to some other
  free data feed (http://www.worldweatheronline.com/). Also, maybe it
  would be good to write weather API and put it in screenlets core
  (sensors.py maybe?) because there are many weather type screenlets
  that pulls info from same location but every one of them implements
  different methods.
