So, I have been reading through the new terms, I thought this would be a good topic to open:

Both Cloud and Non-Cloud terms that are to come into effect 1 NOV have a few things of interest I’d like to push out there for comment:

Para (3.3 Server, 3.2 Cloud): … (i) publicly disseminate information regarding the performance of the Software;

This sounds very much like the nonsense clause that Intel were derided for, regarding performance of their CPU’s. Intel backtracked after being lambasted by the world, I can’t really understand how these points got in to new Atlassian terms, surely the terms have had a technical review?

Just… why, given all the DC testing being done ongoing, this is an area where data we gathered may be interesting to prospective customers.

Para (3.3 Server, 3.2 Cloud): … (j) encourage or assist any third party to do any of the foregoing.

So, we can’t guide/help a customer understand how to even measure performance to determine if they have a performance issue in the “Software”,e.g. generating a performance baseline before an ‘app’ is involved?

The result of this would appear sub-optimal for Customer and Vendors alike, the “Software” performance just becomes 3rd party App performance that we cannot ‘explain’ or ‘show’ to customers.

Atlassian, these are not OPEN clauses that I’d expect to see from an OPEN company!
