Everyone (maybe rightfully) up in arms, but I imagine you would need an agreement like this is they were finally getting on board with something like elastic compute. Everytime they spin up a new machine on your behalf they're essentially redistributing all the files on that machine. I understand everyones gun shy, but I've been using Vultr for years and I'm much less suspicious of them than the likes of google/amazon. I've personally never had an issue with them, but I definitely think it's a healthy response to go fight or flight when you're essentially signing all your rights away.

Sure, but "Irrevocable?" That's a hard no.

"prepare derivative works"? Also a hard no.

This is not boilerplate, otherwise every cloud provider would have this and they do not. This problem can be solved by much less broad terms.

   > commercialize the User Content in any way that Vultr deems appropriate
How does this maps to adding another node in the compute

Also, why perpetual?

They are essentially data processor, they act on your behalf and should not do things with data that you have not asked for.
