Arstechnica reports …

Google’s Rebecca Ward, Senior Product Counsel for Google Chrome, now tells Ars Technica that the company tries to reuse these licenses as much as possible, “in order to keep things simple for our users.” Ward admits that sometimes “this means that the legal terms for a specific product may include terms that don’t apply well to the use of that product” and says that Google is “working quickly to remove language from Section 11 of the current Google Chrome terms of service. This change will apply retroactively to all users who have downloaded Google Chrome.”

So, one more battle for the little guy wins.
I’m glad google realized that this was a mistake, and that (of course pending what the next version of the EULA reads) we’ll all be able to use Chrome with out thinking that our sundry details will be shared with the rest of the world if google wants to…

“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. This license is for the sole purpose of enabling Google to display, distribute and promote the services and may be revoked for certain services as defined in the additional terms of those services.”

Bold for emphasis.

So, if *I* read that right.
Anything I post to a website, via Chrome, might be copied by google to their databases, and used for what ever purpose they want, when ever they want.

Right?

yeah… Sorry, thats a little absurd.

It will just be a toy until thats straightened out.
