How's this for license language? ************************************* >From a staff posting by Derek Merleaux of the Yale Library: Several news sites have reported on a serious problem within the End User License Agreement (EULA) that one agrees to by installing Google Chrome browser which includes a condition of service that effectively lets Google use any of your copyrighted material posted to the web via Chrome. This will likely be changed before this software is fully released, but it is an exellent example of why one should either carefully read or do a little research on the agreement attached to a program before installing it. Google Chrome EULA: http://www.google.com/chrome/eula.html The bit in question: 11. Content licence from you 11.1 You retain copyright and any other rights that you already hold in Content that you submit, post or display on or through the Services. By submitting, posting or displaying the content, you give Google a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free and non-exclusive licence to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute any Content that you submit, post or display on or through the Services. This licence is for the sole purpose of enabling Google to display, distribute and promote the Services and may be revoked for certain Services as defined in the Additional Terms of those Services. ****
