I saw that last week and was unsure whether to flag it up here because Adobe quickly said they'd revise these terms. Photoshop Express offers a 'sharing' facility which allows any image you upload to become common property of visitors to adjust and incorporate (make derivative works from) and download - basically public domain. I thought that's what Adobe were possibly trying to accomodate in the T&C's, but the lawyers had gone for full world domination as usual.
