Thanks Steve@HardOCP for the heads-up

Just a big false alarm... even for legalese can tell that paragraph doesn't fit there in regards to the application.

Quote:

Update, Sept. 3rd 2008: Earlier today, Google changed section 11 of the EULA to read as follows:

Quote:

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.

I think that text is much better.

until they do change that... it still stands :/
found the language setting, was tucked away in the menus, why do they even push the NL by default anyway

Google's whole "don't be evil" goal seems to be disappearing bit by bit as time goes on. They should change it to "don't be evil unless the potential of a large sum of money is involved."
