Your demo sites that I have seen violate both of these conditions. You parse the full text of the article, remove the link back, implying the content is yours and then add affiliate links that were not in the original article.

People DO check where their feeds are being used by the link backs or by searching for their original text blocks on the web to see who has stolen their content without a credit and sooner or later you will be asked to remove the feed and/or at least threatened with worse especially if you are clearly using the feed for commercial purposes by adding your own affiliate links without permission.

But have a great weekend anyhow.
