I think that there is no argument against broadcasting Wikinews articles 
via your news search engine. (Does anyone disagree?) Wikinews articles 
are released under the terms of the CC-BY 2.5 license 
(http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/).

There are several RSS-feeds:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/WikinewsLatestNews (English)
http://tools.wikimedia.de/~dapete/wikinews-rss/rss-de.php (German)
http://www.feedfire.com/site/rss.cgi?ChanContentId=009340 (Spanish)

Perhaps someone who feels responsible and able can answer to this question.
