In March they announced to shutdown Google Code and moved there own projects to Github. And now they are opening a new Code hosting service. Am i missing something here?

So..less than 3 months ago they announced that they were shutting Googlecode ( code.google.com ) by 2016..
Story at the time ( for those who missed it ) [theregister.co.uk...]
( and said that it was to time consuming etc etc for them to maintain it..and that anyone who needed such should go to github )
and now they are opening what is to all intents and purposes the same thing..again..

However..read what is hidden away in the T&Cs...Google put this in almost all of their "account" T&Cs nowadays..

When you upload, submit, store, send or receive content to or through our Services, you give Google (and those we work with) a worldwide license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works (such as those resulting from translations, adaptations or other changes we make so that your content works better with our Services), communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute such content. The rights you grant in this license are for the limited purpose of operating, promoting, and improving our Services, and to develop new ones. This license continues even if you stop using our Services.

So..anything you invent, and stock ( even for a nano second ) in their cloud repos..is licensed, for free to Google ( and "friends" ) ..

Err...No thanks G..
not so much a "beta"..more of a "far far worse"..

No, I don't think you are. I suspect Google wants a slice of the cake for themselves.
