being a novice in this area, could I canvass opinion on the following...
http://docs.yahoo.com/info/terms/ - Yahoo!'s terms of service, says
8. CONTENT SUBMITTED TO YAHOO
By submitting Content to any Yahoo property, you automatically grant, or
warrant that the owner of such Content has expressly granted, Yahoo the
royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive and fully sublicensable
right and license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate,
create derivative works from, distribute, perform and display such Content
(in whole or part) worldwide and/or to incorporate it in other works in any
form, media, or technology now known or later developed.

This confuses me. Does this mean people with sites on GeoCities or Yahoo! (I
am aware of a number of academic staff who have 'small, home-grown software
I've written myself for research purposes' sites on GeoCities) are kissing
their rights goodbye? It may be nothing I guess, but I'm not sure.
