Google Chrome: No Todo es Bonito con Google

Al parecer todas las personas nos dejamos llevar por lo bonito que es Google, por que nos da algunos proyectos de Software Libre y sobre todo por que va en contra de Microsoft, pero nos hemos puesto a pensar que Google no es sino otra empresa, en crecimiento, pero igual o peor que Microsoft, le estamos dando poder y el poder corrompe.

El otro dia anunciaron su navegador Chrome, totalmente gratis para bajar distribuir, pasar, copiar, etc. Cosa que no hace Microsoft, pero a que precio nos sale esta «libertad» que Google da, han leido el EULA? o el llamado politica de uso? Si no lo han leido es mejor que le den un tiempo para leerlo. Sabias, por ejemplo, que cualquier cosa que publiques, hagas post, envies, etc. con el navegador Chrome, le das autoridad perpetua (o sea de por vida), sin restricciones y absoluta a Google para modificar, publicar, compartir con otras compañias, etc, etc, etc y hacer lo que quiera con eso?

No es un manzana en miel Google (aunque como tu, yo pensaba eso tambien antes), echale un ojo al EULA (parte extraida del EULA) y despues ve el EULA por ti mismo siguiendo este link. Que mas podremos ver en el EULA del Google Docs? que nuestros documentos no nos pertenecen? vaya Google.
