LitReview: Various Agreements

LitReview Pending

Notes:

Itunes TOS: - more bad things - you're using their stuff
-1 Click licensed through Amazon - interesting that they have to state that
-A lot of obvious things said very verbosely
-Card value is 1/10 of one cent - wat
-Not a lot on preorders
-Why 6 members, why 5 authorized computers, why 25000 songs?
-A lot of things that you might want to consider before agreeing - ex. Family Organizer
-Apple is not responsible - they don't care
-"Apple is not responsible for typographic errors"
-interesting that the biggest section was for family sharing and I don't even use that
-pretty strict and binding
-exact opposite of licenses - "you shall not modify, rent, lease, loan, sell, distribute, or create derivative works"

Fedora Project Contributor Agreement - more good things - they're using your stuff
-Not to be confused with licensing
-does not supercede the license
-does not apply to upstream code
-code vs content - specifying terms++
-MIT
-lol at defining "You"
-interesting copyright holder employer clarification
-goes to CDL if you haven't yet licensed it


Python Contributor Agreement - way shorter
-an actual form - you have more of a say
-More of a contract and agreement on both sides
-You pick your initial license
-Does not prevent contributor from licensing contributions under different terms from initial

Similarities
-all agreements
-regarding use of something by someone else
