Following up on the ReputationDefender Blog posts dealing with the Google Chrome End User License Agreement, it seems that Google has changed the Chrome legal-ese. From the Google Blog:
Whenever we release a product in beta as we just did with Google Chrome, we can always count on our users to come up with ways to improve it. This week’s example: several eagle-eyed users and bloggers have expressed concern that Section 11 of Google Chrome’s terms of service attempts to give us rights to any user-generated content “submitted, posted or displayed on or through” the browser.
[SNIP]
But rest assured that we’re working quickly to fix this. The new terms will of course be retroactive, and will cover everyone who has downloaded Google Chrome since it was launched.
Kudos to Google for responding so quickly and professionally to this issue.
