Adobe has responded to concerns about a clause in its terms of service for Photoshop Express, the free Web-based software launched on Thursday, that gives Adobe "perpetual, irrevocable" control of a users content.
Adobe's initial release of the software granted the company complete control over a user's photographs. As a reviewer from ZDNet.com.au's sister site CNET.com Lori Grunin first pointed out in her review on the Webware, quoting the clause in question:
Adobe does not claim ownership of Your Content. However, with respect to Your Content that you submit or make available for inclusion on publicly accessible areas of the Services, you grant Adobe a worldwide, royalty-free, nonexclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, and fully sublicensable license to use, distribute, derive revenue or other remuneration from, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, publicly perform and publicly display such Content and to incorporate such Content into other Materials or works in any format or medium now known or later developed.
Adobe blogger John Nack contacted Adobe with concerns about the terms of service. Nack reported that he received a response from Adobe's Photoshop Express team Friday stating that it agrees that the clause "implies things we would never do with content," and therefore the legal team is making it a priority to post revised terms, although Adobe did not specify a date to changes the terms of use.
