Has your father ever told you as a child to read the small print? Here is what Yahoo’s IM client forbids you from doing as part of their license agreement:
...USE THE YAHOO SOFTWARE TO OPERATE NUCLEAR FACILITIES, LIFE SUPPORT OR OTHER MEDICAL EQUIPMENT, MANUFACTURING OR CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT, WEAPONS SYSTEMS, AIRCRAFT OR NAUTICAL NAVIGATION OR COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS, AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEMS...
...USE THE YAHOO SOFTWARE WHILE DRIVING, BIKING, BOATING, OPERATING HEAVY MACHINERY OR ENGAGING IN ANY OTHER POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS ACTIVITY...
Reproduced in easy-to-read-all-caps-legalese(tm). Knowing Yahoo’s legal department first-hand to be a bunch of caffiene addicts, I still have to wonder what prompted them to include NUCLEAR FACILITIES as a potential use of Yahoo Messenger?
