Oh, those silly folks at Google. They made a boo boo in the T&Cs for Chrome that gave them, well, let's let the original text speak for itself:
"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."
You can imagine that this set off a wee bit of a firestorm-let. So the text is being altered to read:
Content license from you
You retain copyright and any other rights you already hold in Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services.
And that’s all. Period. End of section.
Thanks to D'Technology blog for publicizing this.
But all that being said, I must admit that even for a nonGooglephile like me, Chrome represents a big step forward in the annals of browserdom. Licketysplit is not the word...
