Story: Google denies ownership of users' words
How many Terms and Conditions does it take to Google?
David Vaille said "Google offered two sets of terms and conditions — a universal set and another for its Google Docs service."
To add more confusion, when you Google for "Google Terms" and search again for "Your Rights" you will find there are many Ts and Cs to be concerned about. (some of the links are commentary and there may be duplicates ) see http://www.google.com.au/search?q=%22google+terms%22+%22your+rights%22&hl=en&start=20&sa=N
Given that these Ts an Cs cover several different services its worth a look see to make sure that the services you are using fit with your governamce policies etc so as to make sure you aren't in breach.
How many Terms and Conditions does it take to Google?
I think we should all be demanding that Google delete all references to users giving away content licensing rights and Google being able to syndicate your content from any Ts and Cs, before your staff use any Google Apps services!
Then it's left up to management to control the content that get's "publicly displayed".
