From the same page:

"Other than the limited license set forth in Section 11, Google acknowledges and agrees that it obtains no right, title or interest from you (or your licensors) under these Terms in or to any Content that you submit, post, transmit or display on, or through, the Services, including any intellectual property rights which subsist in that Content (whether those rights happen to be registered or not, and wherever in the world those rights may exist)."




That clause is by definition perfectly useless, because of its preample: "other than set forth in Section 11". So it does nothing to limit the license granted in section 11. It's just eye candy.

Now, if you could define clearly for me what "in connection with" in section 11 means: use such Content in connection with the provision of those services

Does "in connection with" include the need to make money on that free service by selling that content to a third-party? Where does the connection start and stop?
