On the other hand, our company has recently mandated that all the software we use needs to have it's license checked over by a lawyer because we've found some fairly nefarious things in some of the software licenses we're using. Don't want to reveal where I work but let's say there's plenty of people working there who understand software licensing already, and some of the things were still missed until under a microscope.

So maybe it pays to be skeptical / cautious?



As a SaaS vendor I’ve had an uptick in one off requests from legal teams to make changes to our terms.

So far, nothing deal breaking (largely because there isn’t anything nefarious in our terms), but I wonder if this will be a trend moving forward.


thanks for your comment! Are the data privacy concerns the main SaaS challenge from your POV ?


No, so far it has been about limiting their liability in the event of something bad happening on the platform.
