FlightAware withdrew its lawsuit against Kalshi on Tuesday, a day after filing it over allegations that Kalshi used FlightAware's data without permission to let users bet on flight cancellations.
The withdrawal ends the immediate legal dispute, but the underlying allegation highlights the risks of using third-party data without explicit permission. For engineers, this is a reminder to verify data licensing terms before building products that rely on external data feeds.
