Remix OS EULA Asks to Waive Rights to All User Content
Remix OS, a new desktop OS based on Android-x86 landed yesterday, but it comes with a pretty nasty EULA that should definitely be read by its users.  Many people don’t bother to read the EULA for a new operating system or application, but that is always a good idea.
