Scripting the download and conversion of non-free data from an internet website

Hi

I'd like to verify that it is legal to download data that is available
on a website, but is not distributable, through KIO / a script, and
then do some processing to convert it and store it on the client's
machine.

The specific issue is that I wish to distribute a list containing a
selection of astronomical objects with KStars. However, the authors of
the list, despite putting the list up publicly on the internet, do not
wish to permit the distribution of the list. I would like KStars users
to be able to generate / access the list anyway, so I am considering
writing a script that would download the list from the internet, and
convert the list into a KStars-readable format.

TIA.

Regards
Akarsh
