Oh HEEEELLLL NO!!!! Part Deux: Google Chrome - ECSNorway - 09-04-2008 Google claims ownership of all content posted via Google Chrome. Quote: ETA: Google claims to be in the process of removing this language from the license, but I'm going to check it fairly carefully if I ever do decide to try their browser. -- Sucrose Octanitrate. Proof positive that with sufficient motivation, you can make anything explode. - Wiregeek - 09-04-2008 per google, this is boilerplate language that goes into any and all products.. it's the 'google liscense'. I think that makes it worse. "No can brain today. Want cheezeburger." From NGE: Nobody Dies, by Gregg Landsman http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5579457/1/NGE_Nobody_Dies - Berk - 09-04-2008 Google copy-pastes their license from everything else only everything they do. One of these days it will bite them on the ass. - Grumpy Uncle Gearhead - ECSNorway - 09-04-2008 Looks like they just got nibbled, then. -- Sucrose Octanitrate. Proof positive that with sufficient motivation, you can make anything explode. - Bob Schroeck - 09-04-2008 Good thing I just switched to SeaMonkey (I finally got it working right -- it was NoScript that screwed me up all those months ago) so I'm in no particular hurry to try a new browser again. Has anyone brought this to the attention of the Register or any of the other online IT news outlets? Or hell, the regular news outlets? -- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak. - Cobalt Greywalker - 09-04-2008 I think the http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7597699.stm]BBC count Bob. - Epsilon - 09-04-2008 Google has already asserted that this was a mistake of using standard boilerplate which they use for their Youtube/Google Video/Google Maps stuff. They have claimed they are going to reword the language and that the changes they implement will be retroactive to everyone who downloaded a copy of Chrome. Still. I'm happy with Firefox 3 for now. ------------------ Epsilon - robkelk - 09-05-2008 Quote:Google has already asserted that this was a mistake of using standard boilerplate which they use for their Youtube/Google Video/Google Maps stuff.And http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/09/04 ... ula_terms/]here's the Register story... -- Rob Kelk "Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of the same sovereign, servants of the same law." - Michael Ignatieff, addressing Stanford University in 2012 - Bob Schroeck - 09-05-2008 Well, looks like it's been hammered down, then. I'm curious, though, about Matt Cutts' implication that he snarked at people for first bringing it up... anyone know where that was? Because I'm interested in seeing what he initially said, and what justifications he might have thrown out. -- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak. |
