</div><div>I would like to, but I cannot agree to Google's Terms of
Service. Notably, I agree to give certain rights to
contributions of mine to OpenStreetMap, but I cannot agree to give to
Google everything Google characterizes as "My Content" in a
Google Hangout. So, I may lurk, but I will not
participate.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I know this has been raised as an issue here before, but are we
any closer to answering: Is there an online (audio/video) venue
which has less onerous Terms of Service than Google's? A way to
technologically solve a delightfully impromptu meeting like this
without using a corporate host that insists upon taking from us
everything we discuss within its digital domain?</div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">
