Hello. I am planning to develop some end-user services taking advantage of GAE's service. I have red GAEs terms very carefully and i am a little bit confused. I need you to clarity. Could you ?
http://code.google.com/intl/en/appengine/terms.html (sunday oct/31/2010) section 8 [...] By submitting, posting or displaying the Content on or through the Service you give Google a worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute such Content [...] Furthermore, by creating an Application through use of the Service, you give Google a worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute such Application [...] My questions are: 1) if i store any kind of end-user's info into GAE's datastore: os Google free to publish it ? what about if it is private info ? how can i warrant my end-users that their info is not going to be publicy published ? I mean, it is understandable that Google automatically access to that info to obtain some kind of benefit by providing the platform, but reserving the rights of publicy publishing end-users info disallow us (ISVs) to protect them... 2) What does Google mean by "reproducing" and "adapting" such Application ? 3) If Google reserves the right of translating apps, how will Google do it if my app is developed in java ? is Google going to reverse-ing it ? 4) what is the difference between "publishing" and "distributing" an app ? if some Google's guy out-there, can you provide me some examples of such cases please ? thanks in advance, D./ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
