Google hatte mit dem Release des Browsers Chrome eine EULA an den Tag gelegt den einige mit argen Stirnrunzeln bis hin zu wilden Wutausbrüchen kommentiert haben…

11. Content licsense from you
11.1 You retain copyright and any other rights that you already hold in Content that 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 that 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.

Jap – Genau. Gesammtes Haus und Hof darf Google verwenden welches durch den Browser gegangen ist?

Entweder unter dem Druck der Öffentlichkeit oder wie Google nun selber schreibt “aus Schusseligkeit” – ist die EULA korrigiert worden …

So for Google Chrome, only the first sentence of Section 11 should have applied. We’re sorry we overlooked this, but we’ve fixed it now, and you can read the updated Google Chrome terms of service. If you’re into the fine print, here’s the revised text of Section 11:

11. Content license 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.

And that’s all. Period. End of section.

Geht doch …
