Wikipedia says that METAR is a format, not a system. Where precsely does
that package get the data? Servers run by who?
Servers that publish data of public interest are normally NOT SaaSS.
(Indeed, most servers are NOT SaaSS.)
SaaSS means using a server to do computing that naturally is yours.
You ask for some computing to be done, send the input, and get the
output back. Services that give you METAR data do computing that you
might find useful, but I think that computing isn't specifically
yours, so it isn't SaaSS.

I can't make sense of that. Didn't find any code for what?

This sounds like SaaSS to me. Maybe we should add such a warning here.
