FAQ or not, Face Book has the same claim. They make no bones about their
goal of repackaging your information individually or in the aggregate
and reusing it or reselling it in any way they want. Think resume
references, NSA et al.

NSA has been collecting data for several years using collections
gathered by contractors who supposedly are not restrained by the fourth
amendment. One can only speculate as to the income stream that Google
can earn if you give them your everything.

Oops! Did I just sign something that mentioned NSA?

They have the same or similar EULA on all their products from Gmail, to
Google Apps, etc. They basically say that you are giving them permission
to reformat or redisplay your data. For some reason people thinks this
means that they "own" everything you type, which is not true, and they
say so in their FAQ.
