Re: New home for list needed-a Case Against Yahoo
copy&paste:
9.1 You acknowledge and agree that Google (or
Google’s licensors) own all legal right, title
and interest in and to the Services, including
any intellectual property rights which subsist
in the Services (whether those rights happen to
be registered or not, and wherever in the world
those rights may exist). You further acknowledge
that the Services may contain information which
is designated confidential by Google and that
you shall not disclose such information without
Google’s prior written consent.
9.4 Other than the limited license set forth in
Section 11, Google acknowledges and agrees that
it obtains no right, title or interest from you
(or your licensors) under these Terms in or to
any Content that you submit, post, transmit or
display on, or through, the Services, including
any intellectual property rights which subsist
in that Content (whether those rights happen to
be registered or not, and wherever in the world
those rights may exist). Unless you have agreed
otherwise in writing with Google, you agree that
you are responsible for protecting and enforcing
those rights and that Google has no obligation to do so on your behalf.
11. Content licence from you
11.1 You retain copyright and any other rights
you already hold in Content which you submit,
post or display on or through, the Services. By
submitting, posting or displaying the content
you give Google a perpetual, irrevocable,
worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive
licence 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
licence 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.
11.2 You agree that this licence includes a
right for Google to make such Content available
to other companies, organizations or individuals
with whom Google has relationships for the
provision of syndicated services, and to use
such Content in connection with the provision of those services.
11.3 You understand that Google, in performing
the required technical steps to provide the
Services to our users, may (a) transmit or
distribute your Content over various public
networks and in various media; and (b) make such
changes to your Content as are necessary to
conform and adapt that Content to the technical
requirements of connecting networks, devices,
services or media. You agree that this licence
shall permit Google to take these actions.
11.4 You confirm and warrant to Google that you
have all the rights, power and authority necessary to grant the above licence.
Whatever happens with respect to going forward, I
would strenuously object to putting an archive of
prior posts in the hands of any commercial
hosting service. No one person (natural or
otherwise) or subset of list members CAN license
to or vest in a third party the rights to the
posts in the archive, which the agreement above
purports to do -- those rights belong to the
individual posters, who were not on notice at the
time they posted that their rights might be assigned.
Best regards,
etienne
