You own it. They have a license to use it. ________________________________ From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com <ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com> on behalf of Greg Keogh <gfke...@gmail.com> Sent: Wednesday, September 2, 2020 10:21:15 AM To: ozDotNet <ozdotnet@ozdotnet.com> Subject: [OT] Microsoft Services Agreement
I suppose many of you received an email broadcast with an update to the Microsoft terms<https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/servicesagreement/upcoming.aspx>. Not many people have the stomach to even look at documents like this (~15000 words), let alone read and understand them, but I had a glance and noticed these seemingly conflicting statements: We don’t claim ownership of Your Content. Your Content remains Your Content and you are responsible for it. b [...cut...], you grant to Microsoft a worldwide and royalty-free intellectual property license to use Your Content, for example, to make copies of, retain, transmit, reformat, display, and distribute via communication tools Your Content on the Services. I'm not even sure what "My Content" is, but although I own it, Microsoft can do anything they like with it. I'm confused and worried now. Greg K
