I think most people who scan throught the terms and Eulas understand the majority of the overall 'positive' objectives that Google are trying to achieve. It does not exculse loose and contradicting legal statments that can be interpreted in many ways. The logic (if I can call it that) provides far too much bandwidth for abuse. (if they so chose).... I'm happy that the offending clause is now removed, but it should serve as a warning to all users of downloadable FREE Internet software to read terms carefully , especially as the boundaries of data privacy is ever being pushed back by Governments and big business, before blindly jumping onto the bandwagon....
