I apologize for responding to an email that is this old... > So what is clause 7a?... <snip> Clause 7 is part of a boiler plate TOS that is included with PostNuke. Nothing more, and nothing less. There have been *zero* discussions as to what our TOS should be other than to make sure that we indemnify U2UG from copywrite issues. If you are concerned about the wording of any part of the TOS suggest an alternative wording. As has been stated elsewhere this is an effort by and of your fellow U2 users; we aren't out to take your work or inflict any harm on you. > 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.

IMHO the clause says that if you post a comment or submit a story that U2UG.org has the right to publish that text. Having said that, I it is important that we recognize that the meaning of the current text is not important. Propose an alternative and lets spend whatever time is important talking about that text instead. ~ kevin zollinger [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
