Copyright and Wolfram Alpha. WAS Re: An early web 3.0 search engine is out

I just came across this article in Groklaw regarding Wolfram Alpha and their terms of service, which are different than any other search service out there. The short version: WA defines itself as a computational service, not a search engine. So, WA claims copyright over the results of searches performed using its service.

See http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20090518204959409 for more details.

Cheers,

Bill
