  • WordPress is only the software on which your website runs on your own server. I don’t think there’s much need for “policy” unless you refer to WordPress.COM.

    According to:
    https://www.blogger.com/terms.g

    Part 6.

    Your Intellectual Property Rights. Google claims no ownership or control over any Content submitted, posted or displayed by you on or through Google services. You or a third party licensor, as appropriate, retain all patent, trademark and copyright to any Content you submit, post or display on or through Google services and you are responsible for protecting those rights, as appropriate. By submitting, posting or displaying Content on or through Google services which are intended to be available to the members of the public, you grant Google a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to reproduce, publish and distribute such Content on Google services for the purpose of displaying and distributing Google services. Google furthermore reserves the right to refuse to accept, post, display or transmit any Content in its sole discretion.

    You represent and warrant that you have all the rights, power and authority necessary to grant the rights granted herein to any Content submitted.

    You may choose to submit, post and display any materials on or through the Blogger service or Blogspot.com under a public license (e.g. a Creative Commons license), whether by manually marking your materials as such or using Blogger service tools to do so. For avoidance of doubt, Google is not a party to any such public license between you and any third party. In addition, for avoidance of doubt, Google may choose to exercise the rights granted under (a) the public license or licenses, if any, you apply to your materials or (b) this Agreement.

    The above terms in original post are not the same as the link provided.

    Google/Blogger is not the same as WordPress.
