I'm basing that on this excerpt from the announcement on the Datasift website

"This means that developers interested in building tools to monitor and analyze Twitter data can now filter Tweets from the full Twitter Firehose, using DataSift for non-display analysis."

I'm not sure if that's true. Many of their use case examples seem to display the data from user's streams, meaning that it's not just analysis.

Hi -- The license the consumer receives is strictly for non-display use cases, meaning you are not able to go to Gnip or DataSift to license Twitter content to display to end users. We (Twitter) still maintain a robust set of APIs for display use cases which we will license directly to partners for display products.

Thanks, Doug

I thought that I had asked them about that part. Hmmm.
