[SML] PayPal

[Michael Sauder]

Obligatory IANAL.

To my knowledge, this is standard language. Basically, it gives Paypal
permission to use content that you post. That might be a review of a
service, or their new Facebook clone (I have no knowledge of such a new
feature, but everyone wants to do it, so...).

If you post it to Paypal (or Facebook, or Twitter, or indeed this very
Stagecraft Mailing List), you are agreeing that that company is allowed to
use the content. If you DON'T make that agreement, then those companies are
not allowed to use the content. In the case of the SML, that means that you
could send emails to the SML server, but the SML server would not be
permitted to pass your message on to everyone else on the mailing list.
Which of course makes the mailing list useless.

If you post any information anywhere on a public website, chances are very
VERY good that you no longer own exclusive rights to that content. The only
way to retain exclusive rights is to host content on your own website.
