So techincally they own my route...

"(b) We have an irrevocable, worldwide, perpetual, payment free right to take any actions we consider appropriate in respect of the UGC (including without limitation to copy, reproduce, market, advertise, modify, adapt, merge, translate, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or create derivative works based on the whole or any part of the UGC), and all consents (if any) required under intellectual property, data protection and privacy laws worldwide, for that use;"

...and technically they can sell it, and because they own it, force me to stop giving it away.

Sheesh.

I am going to move this where it properly belongs now that the conversation has shifted.

Whoa!

That is a completely preposterous thing to say.

I don't believe that even if you let RSC use anything you created as freeware that they could prevent you from giving away for free something that you created. That is a stretch too far.

NDORFN, there is a whole thread on this that you must have missed. Lets not start start over on this thread. I'll try to send you a topic link when I get a moment.

I think this is the one he's thinking about.

[PapaXpress]

Yea I think that is the one.

Ok cheers for the link. At the end of the day, it's only an agreement, not a contract. Agreeing to terms and conditions doesn't make it legally binding, it just gives more weight to them if they wanted to go to court. I'm not really worried, was just taking the Mickey out of RSC.
