[Year 12 IT Apps] Terms of Use Document - O402

[ken price]

Not quite an EULA but I had to laugh at the Facebook user agreement
http://www.facebook.com/legal/terms that attempts to control your use of
the words "face" and "book".

"You will not use our copyrights or trademarks (including Facebook, the
Facebook and F Logos, FB, Face, Poke, Wall and 32665), or any confusingly
similar marks, without our written permission."

Cheers
