I'm stuck in a bit of a tough situation.

The cloud hosting provider I use, Vultr, has made a change to their terms of service stating that:

You hereby grant to Vultr a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid-up, worldwide license (including the right to sublicense through multiple tiers) to use, reproduce, process, adapt, publicly perform, publicly display, modify, prepare derivative works, publish, transmit and distribute each of your User Content

[…]

I find this particularly frightening judging by the fact that I'll soon be releasing SparkShell sometime this year. I don't want Vultr to hold rights to your content, so I don't know if I want to continue using them.

I personally cannot see this going down well in court so I'm going to cross my fingers that this is reverted, but I'm looking for your opinion - would you have any problem with this or should I look into moving away from Vultr?
