If you have a web site on a geocities or other Yahoo owned site you may want to read the fine print before you click on the "Agree" button of the site license agreement. The terms of the agreement gives them unlimited intellectual property rights on all content of those sites.

The term in question gives Yahoo "the royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, nonexclusive, and fully sublicensable right and license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform, and display such content (in whole or part) worldwide and/or to incorporate it in other works in any form, media, or technology now known or later developed."
