[Noisebridge-discuss] do you guys want a uservoice account?

[John Menerick]

According to Uservoice's TOS, you give over all your rights and license 
UserVoice to do with as they wish and desire.

Think Facebook but one step scarier in terms of privacy and content 
ownership.



"..You give the party who owns the Hosted Area in which you post your 
Content (the "Account Holder") a non-exclusive, free, worldwide license 
for the duration of the applicable author's rights, to publish your 
Content. In addition to the right to publish, you also grant the Account 
Holder under said license the following rights, without limitation: (i) 
the right to reproduce; (ii) the right to transfer, which includes the 
distribution via computer and networks; (iii) the right to edit, modify, 
adapt, arrange, improve, correct, translate, in all or in part; (iv) the 
right to update/upgrade by adding or removing; and (v) the right to 
film, perform or post the Content in any media. Except as described in 
our Privacy Policy, neither the Company nor any Account Holder will be 
required to treat any Content as confidential.
In order to operate and improve the Service, the Company needs the right 
to make certain uses of your Content as well. Therefore, when you post 
Content in any Hosted Area, you also agree to grant the Company an 
irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, fully sublicenseable, 
non-exclusive license to copy, distribute, sell, publicly display, 
publicly perform and make derivative works of your Content on the 
Service and on services affiliated with the Service regardless of the 
form of media used or of whether such services now exist or are 
developed in the future......"
