As for licensing from that Foursquare scraper then possibly a tag with 
source:Foursquare or URL of venue might be sufficient according to 
terms? Only saw Yapis last night when someone made an edit through it.

      Linking to Us: Basic Data

Give your users the opportunity to learn more about the venues they see 
in your app. To do this, provide*links*back to corresponding 
Foursquarevenue pages 
<https://foursquare.com/v/john-f-kennedy-international-airport-jfk/43a52546f964a520532c1fe3>whenever 
you display any basic data (name, location, and category) retrieved from 
our venues database. Common approaches to this include:

  * linking the venue name directly
  * creating your own place detail page and linking that back to us
  * having some other dedicated "More Details" link
