eula....

Anyone else think that some of the terms of the end-user license agreement on some of the "free" services out there are getting ridiculous?

"...shall exclusively own all now known or hereafter existing rights to the Submissions of every kind and nature throughout the universe and shall be entitled to unrestricted use of the Submissions for any purpose whatsoever, commercial or otherwise, without compensation to the provider of the Submissions."

Not to mention the data tracking, albeit anonymous.... there's a boatload of money in that. Don't let them fool you.

And no, that's not Facebook.... it's MyWebSearch toolbar, who has an eula that refers to separate eula's for services provided by other vendors that are integrated into the toolbar.

At least Google is fairly up front about trying to control the world's data - for good. I think they mean for the responsible use and freedom of access, but their wording makes me think they want full control, forever.

Just a random Saturday morning thought.
