Google Chrome EULA

As you have probably already heard, there has been huge concern that the Google Chrome EULA was too invasive with regard to intellectual property rights. Google has since changed the English version at: http://www.google.com/chrome/eula.html?hl=en

Google apparently blamed a hasty copy/paste for the mistake but it is a little worrying to think this may have been intentional, and how many people have actually already agreed to the EULA in question.

[EDIT: I take it the change will have retro-active effect.]

Here is the Ars Technica article describing the whole chain of events:

and how Google has promised to change its terms and conditions for the new browser.

The French version (http://www.google.com/chrome/eula.html?hl=fr) doesn't seem to have been amended at the time of writing:

En fournissant, publiant ou affichant le contenu, vous accordez à Google une licence permanente, irrévocable, mondiale, gratuite et non exclusive permettant de reproduire, adapter, modifier, traduire, publier, présenter en public et distribuer tout Contenu que vous avez fourni, publié ou affiché sur les Services ou par le biais de ces derniers.

Something to keep an eye on...

Thoughts?
