1:43 AM EST 		I thought this was yet another proprietary office software suite, but it turns out it's some kind of weather service with a very odd name.

This story is largely a non-issue. The Adobe widgets for Linux were withdrawn last year, and the remaining ones work as well as can be expected; i.e. very badly.

Most Linux weather widgets get their UK feeds via the BBC and have been unaffected.
