Your post is a timely one Dave. I have been exploring WebNode. http://www.webnode.com/en/ This is an excellent tool that allows you to create full featured web sites with RSS feeds, free hosting, domain name redirection and embeds galore.

Their home page states in bold black print that there is no catch. I read the terms and conditions and under Intellectual Property it is stated that ‘You acknowledge that by posting materials on the webnode site You grant to Us and Our licensors and assigns an irrevocable, perpetual, royalty free, worldwide licence to use the materials both within the webnode site and in any other manner.’

I feel that agreement is indeed a ‘catch’. It is a great tool. Not open source. The dilemma I face is whether or not to go ahead and run with this tool.

Cheers, John
