Hmm... That's a good question. When I wrote the Compare Ship pages, I had full intention of letting people use them to build apps (hence the Maneuver Data Tables, which aren't as useful visually, but they're much easier for harvesting data for apps). Personally, I'm not the least bit offended since you're granting credit; in fact, I'm delighted. A good app that allows easy searching of features would be fantastic. That's part of what we are trying to do with various tables and categories, and an app might make that a lot easier (wikia's search feature is kinda crap for that).

I have a sneaking suspicion that Wikia is perfectly happy to allow people to make apps from its data, since it provides an  open API   to do so. Maybe you'll want to quickly scan the policies of Wikia itself to make sure there aren't restrictions to how you mine or what you use.

If you are still unsure, you can also check with the big boss, Cbyehdio. He's the admin of admins for X-Wing, so to speak. :D  But he stays pretty busy, so to get his attention you'll likely have to post directly on his wall.
