There's now some confused kids with github accounts that didn't have one before, I hope they found their way back to tumblr again. :(

#4Is it open source? Like creative commons or something? Don't really see any notes about if someone could base their own sites documents on these. Well if you copy and paste any websites terms in to Google, you'll find lots of sites use the same wording anyways. Writing a terms of service and privacy policy seems scary and complicated without hiring a expensive lawyer.
