Ja, heeelt sikker!

Tirsdag lanserte Goggle sin egen nettleser, Chrome. Selv om jeg er en aktiv bruker av Opera er jeg ikke så arrogant at jeg ikke prøve ut nye alternativer. Da litt ekstra tid blåttet seg i en ellers hektisk hverdag benyttet jeg sjangsen til nettopp det.

Jeg startet installasjonen med å skumme igjenom Chromes EULA. Jeg skal inrømme at det dessverre ikke er an vanlig prossedyre, men med Photoshop Express EULA sterkt i minne skjer det stadig oftere.

Etter å ha skummet igjenom en rekke diffuse formaliteter satte jeg middagen i halsen ved punkt 11. Les selv:

11. Content license from you

11.2 You agree that this license includes a right for Google to make such Content available to other companies, organizations or individuals with whom Google has relationships for the provision of syndicated services, and to use such Content in connection with the provision of those services …

Enkelt og greit; du trenger ikke å akseptere Chromes EULA, du kan like gjerne sende dem sjela de, rekommandert.
