Warning: Vultr (a major cloud provider) is now claiming full perpetual commercial rights over all hosted content

[Helmuts]

Stumbled on this information, and it grows from Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/1bouuv7
In Short: If you've got any servers running on Vultr, you may not want to accept the new terms of service.

Vultr's new agreement requires its customers to fork over rights to our apps/software/data/anything hosted on the Vultr cloud platform. That goes way too far. No other datacenter company requires this.

Here is the relevant section from Vultr's new TOS:

information, text, opinions, messages, comments, audio visual works, motion pictures, photographs, animation, videos, graphics, sounds, music, software, Apps, and any other content or material that You or your end users submit, upload, post, host, store, or otherwise make available (“Make Available”) on or through the Services (collectively, “Your Content,” “Content” or “User Content”).

...

You hereby grant to Vultr a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid-up, worldwide license (including the right to sublicense through multiple tiers) to use, reproduce, process, adapt, publicly perform, publicly display, modify, prepare derivative works, publish, transmit and distribute each of your User Content, or any portion thereof, in any form, medium or distribution method now known or hereafter existing, known or developed, and otherwise use and commercialize the User Content in any way that Vultr deems appropriate, without any further consent, notice and/or compensation to you or to any third parties, for purposes of providing the Services to you.

huhh... sounds quite bad, doesn't it?

.. Googled up the "Vultr terms of service", and, Voila!
