I wonder if UC Berkeley is confusing "confidential obligations" with "confidential data". It doesn't seem like google is saying, "if we lose an email, and it costs you a million dollars, we're liable for it". From this section: "Confidentia

Good for him. Notch has earned a well-deserved break. Some people are better at starting new things, and some people are better at maintaining and expanding on existing things. I'm happy to hear that Notch has some new ideas that he's itch
