Hi @Laeyoung Bad news is, the Wordpress plugin team has shut my plugin down, they send me a email I quote:

A legal issue with the service you're using was brought to our attention.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/corona-virus-data/

Your plugin uses https://github.com/Laeyoung/COVID-19-API which has no published information regarding the license and terms of use for the service. It has them for the source code, which is great, but as a service they're obligated to protect you (and your users) with at the very least a terms of use or privacy policy.

We cannot reopen your plugin with this issue.

So is there any possible you can include a “term of use” or “privacy policy” in your README?

I promise the plugin will never go commercial and will always be free, I can find the ainiza.ai terms and policy goes here: https://ainize.ai/terms

And the terms of use of “ Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Cases, provided by JHU CSSE” here:

https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/blob/master/README.md

I think you could claim your API respect the MIT license and give users freedom to use in none-commercial use including showing data on their website etc.

Thank you and best regards.

Hi @yduke

I added license description and term of service at README.md.

I didn't know there was term of service of CSSEGISandData/COVID-19 until you let me know. I think the ToS seem a little bit strict as I assume ☹️.
