Photoshop Express’ botched terms of service to be revised

Shortly after opening to the public, Adobe’s Photoshop Express web-based photo editor came under scrutiny for a questionable clause in its Terms of Use.
The passage in question is the following: “Adobe does not claim ownership of Your Content. However, with respect to Your Content that you submit or make available for inclusion on publicly accessible areas of the Services, you grant Adobe a worldwide, royalty-free, nonexclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, and fully sublicensable license to use, distribute, derive revenue or other remuneration from, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, publicly perform and publicly display such Content (in whole or in part) and to incorporate such Content into other Materials or works in any format or medium now known or later developed.”
This passage differs greatly from two other photo sites’ terms of service, Photobucket and Flickr.
