Hi all,

Firstly, thanks to Cliff for all his work over the years.

I guess that most of us are looking to move to the U2UG site.  I started off
down that path this morning but, being a careful sort of person, I read the
terms and conditions.  Clause 7a worries me.  I have discussed this briefly
with our legal advisors who said that we shouldn't agree to it without
clarification.

So what is clause 7a?...

7. Submission of Content on this Web Site.
By providing any Content to our web site:
(a) you agree to grant to us a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual,
non-exclusive right and license (including any moral rights or other
necessary rights) to use, display, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish,
distribute, perform, promote, archive, translate, and to create derivative
works and compilations, in whole or in part. Such license will apply with
respect to any form, media, technology known or later developed;

My non-legal mind looks at this and reads into it that once I have submitted
a posting to the site, I give away all rights to everything I have done and
all my future work that may have any connection with what I have posted.
I'm not even certain that the connection is necessary!

Any views out there before we all (possibly) donate our life's work to IBM?
