After the buzz about Chrome's TOS in the last couple of days, I
decided to look at Google App Engine's terms.

http://code.google.com/appengine/terms.html

8. License From You

8.1
Google claims no ownership or control over any Content or Application.
You retain copyright and any other rights you already hold in the
Content and/or Application, and you are responsible for protecting
those rights, as appropriate. By submitting, posting or displaying the
Content on or through the Service you give Google a worldwide, royalty-
free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, adapt, modify,
translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute
such Content for the sole purpose of enabling Google to provide you
with the Service in accordance with its privacy policy. Furthermore,
by creating an Application through use of the Service, you give Google
a worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce,
adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display
and distribute such Application for the sole purpose of enabling
Google to provide you with the Service in accordance with its privacy
policy.

Anyone care?

Umm, is there something there anyone *should* care about? Were you
hoping not to grant to Google the rights they actually need to provide
you with service, so you could upload your application and then sue
them for copyright infringement for copying it to multiple machines in
their cloud? I'm sure you could find a cheaper way to get a judge to
laugh you out of a courtroom.
