WebWare’s take on the Chrome license agreement. Worth reading. It is here.
Original Post
If true, this post by Poss is a keeper. You can read his original article on Shuzak beta here. The juicy part is an extract from the Chrome terms of service. I quote Mr. Shuzak beta:
11.1 You retain copyright and any other rights you already hold in Content which 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 license to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute any Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services.
As I understand this passage, Googzilla has rights to what I do, what I post, what I see via its browser. Seems pretty reasonable for a Googzilla bent on conquering the universe. What do you think? Before you answer, check out the data model I included in my KMWorld column in July 2008.
