However it does not explain the position and how it differs. Which is more important to those who have transferred to
The question at hand had to do with material copied from Yahoo Groups to Groups.io. Neither TOS requires the poster to relinquish ownership of their copyright, but both assert a license to display the content. My point in citing the TOS is that such language would be unnecessary if Jim's claim that merely posting online puts your content in the public domain were true.
That said, I'm not particularly happy that Groups.io's TOS requires the grant of a perpetual and irrevocable license to use our material. I much prefer the vastly more modest license Yahoo required. However I have yet to feel strongly enough about this issue to take my marbles and go home (back to Yahoo or wherever else).
I don't think that license question has a bearing on the topic of EU and/or UK privacy laws, and whether copying content from Yahoo to Groups.io violates those laws, which is the subject of this topic. So if you want to talk about the license terms, that should probably be a New Topic.
