You made a fair offer--termination at will and indemnification should have satisfied their lawyers. They could then write up a policy explaining why they terminate newsfeeds, and give you a copy. Then, if you did something they didn't like, they could stop syndicating you, and that would be it.Perfectly fair. And you're right that their agreement is more of an editorial guidelines document. A reasonable *internal* way to communicate to an editorial team what the groundrules are for their employment. But even with an employee, if you made the penalty any more than termination, you'd have a hard time getting compensated.
Here's another angle, I wonder if the Netscape agreement is enforceable? Maybe I should just sign it, deliberately cross one of the lines, and let them take me to court?
