Until I read it as specifically allowed in the terms, I would go with B or perhaps C. The terms documents are written by lawyers, often in conjunction with providers of various services and data. The engineers who write and maintain these products are not lawyers nor are they required to consult with legal every time they make a change. This allows a culture of quick response but one that sometimes violates their own terms inadvertently. C) Special deals can be made with larger companies to allow them to maneuver around the terms. -John Coryat -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
