But then we would have to start calling them GNU/EULAs... *duck* -----Original Message----- From: Mark Katerberg <mark.katerberg at gmail.com> Sent: Saturday, September 05, 2009 12:29 PM To: greg wm <tclug1 at greatlakedata.com> Cc: tclug-list at mn-linux.org Subject: Re: [tclug-list] Is the clould just a marketing scheme ? Everything going into the cloud worries me a little, but I think it will be okay so long as people wake up and be very very careful with things like Facebook. As we move online, I see EULAs as getting far more important and people might actually *gasp* read them! For example, Facebook has a very scary one that basically steals all of your data while Dropbox has a far less scary one. Gmail is somewhere in the middle. I just hope RMS or someone like-minded steps up and comes up with some kind of standard online EULA.
