How's this for license language?

>From a staff posting by Derek Merleaux of the Yale Library:

Several news sites have reported on a serious problem within the 
End User License Agreement (EULA) that one agrees to by 
installing Google Chrome browser which includes a condition of 
service that effectively lets Google use any of your copyrighted 
material posted to the web via Chrome. This will likely be 
changed before this software is fully released, but it is an 
exellent example of why one should either carefully read or do a 
little research on the agreement attached to a program before 
installing it.

The bit in question:

11. Content licence from you

11.1 You retain copyright and any other rights that you already
hold in Content that you submit, post or display on or through
the Services. By submitting, posting or displaying the content,
you give Google a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free
and non-exclusive licence to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate,
publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute any
Content that you submit, post or display on or through the
Services. This licence is for the sole purpose of enabling Google
to display, distribute and promote the Services and may be
revoked for certain Services as defined in the Additional Terms
of those Services.
