That is standard legal boilerplate that allows them to host/display content that you mark as public. All sites that share user generated content publicly have similar clauses.
- ThePowerOfFuet 7y agoThat doesn't explain modify, adapt, or create derivative works.
- tallanvor 7y agoIt does, though. They need to be able to update the saved data to be compatible with updated code. It's a common problem with legalese. Even straightforward things sound scary without a lot of additional text explaining everything.
- myfonj 7y agoI think "adaptation and derivative works" could apply even for simple format conversion like Markdown (what you authored) to HTML (what you see) or even image thumbnails of pages (?)
- sriku 7y agoMedium's policy doesn't seem to ask for rights to create derivative works and such. I found the verbage unnecessarily broad for what i know is likely to be narrowly applied. If RoamResearch decides to declare that all public content on Roam is relicensed under public domain tomorrow, that would seem within the scope of the policy as stated, though perhaps not within the scope of applicable law. edit: I see that notion.so also has the same wording.
- Symmetry 7y agoLots of Roam features, like the visual overview, are derivative works. I don't think Medium has that.
