Hate to create a new thread on this, but it would get buried in the others.

I was reading the EULA for iOS 5 after updating and noticed that the iCloud backups state they ONLY store iTunes-purchased music in the cloud. Does this mean we cannot (truly) backup our phone unless every song is iTunes-bought?

Example: getting new 4S on Friday, but leaving out of town that night (Vegas baby, Vegas). Was planning to do a fresh restore from my newly created iCloud backup from my current 4 to have my data, all while not having to turn on my computer and plug in. I have a sizeable collection of non-iTunes bought music (hey I go back to the Napster days). Will this not be able to be ported? If not, this REALLY sucks, and is a feature they need to get (most likely with iTunes match later in year?)

Can anyone confirm?
