Hello folks, I've read a couple of posts about handling EULAs and was wondering:
Is there a standard EULA for apps on the Android Marketplace? If not, can there be and should there be? (If I understand correctly) all apps for the iPhone are subject to a standard agreement (the iTunes EULA) found at (http://www.apple.com/ legal/itunes/appstore/dev/stdeula/). Crucially, this allows the buyer to know what they are agreeing to BEFORE purchasing the app. It seems that with the Android model, everyone is responsible for their own license and the buyer doesn't know what they're agreeing to until after paying. This would seem to be a shrink-wrap license which is questionable, at least in US courts. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ EULA) Certainly some cases may merit a non-standard EULA, but it seems like it would do developers a huge favor to offer a standard license for the 99% of apps/games that don't need anything special. At the same time, it would eliminate a confusing situation for consumers who don't know what they are agreeing to anyway. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
