They have been violating it forever with their requirement of putting in SEO backlinks to them.

They aren’t violating it, because they can do whatever they want with the data you give them, including not releasing it at all. What they’re doing is providing it with a completely inconsistent license which says you can use it for commercial use but you promise not to use it for commercial use.
