      Trimble are taking over Google's agreement with you as a poster on that site.
      Trimble can do no more with your content than Google could have.
      Once posted it is in the public domain, but its use is limited by the mutual agreement, as it is by anyone who might download your stuff otherwise...

      my stuff has locked download access on 3DWH, so nobody can download it now. I am worried about the future of my models, as I invested time and creativity into doing real quality stuff for GE. I am affraid of the models becoming downloadable under Trimble. I had problems in the past as of others using my models for comercial purpose, before google introduced the access function in 3DWH where you are able to lock the download. That's why I consider deleting my content from 3DWH.

      Hello mates, I've been reading this article http://sketchup.google.com/intl/en/usernotice.html
      and I started being worried about my geolocated 3D models from Google Earth 3D-Buildings Layer.
      The fragment of text which really bothers me is:
      Google will provide Trimble with a license right to use these models in Trimble’s products (including continued use in SketchUp and in any future 3D model repository which Trimble may create).
      Does that mean that Trimble will be able to incorporate my models into their comercial products and sell them as a part of the software or as an addition, download access for paying users? Does that mean that Trimble will get profit from my models just because Google will license them to use these models? Can I opt out for this to happen? I want my models to be part of only Google Earth 3D-buildings Layer. Can the models be deleted from Google Earth and erased completly from 3D W H or will it remain a copy that Google will keep?

      Thank you for your attention.
