I would suggest that anyone considering entering a kaggle.com competition take a look at their Terms and Conditions : http://kaggle.com/Legals/terms http://kaggle.com/Legals/terms Note section 9 which appears to require the winner to assign copyright on the submission to the organizer.
Giving up all rights to your code has never seemed to me to be a good strategy for a developer (except possibly in the case of full time employment).
- icefox 16y agoEspecially Giving up all rights to code that was better than anyone else's for only 10K. Edit: $9,814.40 USD, the 10K would be in AUD I am guessing Edit2: Scratch that it is 10K USD, not AUD
- reader5000 16y agoSubmissions do not consist of code, merely predictions (at least for the competitions I'm familiar with). I don't think there is anyway they could compel you to give up your code, but I'm no lawyer.
- nl 16y agoActually: The winning entry has to be a general algorithm that can be implemented by the RTA. That means that it takes a timestamp as an input and can generate predictions for the next 15 mins, 30 mins, 45 mins, 60 mins etc. Results must also be replicated by the RTA before any prize money is awarded. So it sounds like they are expecting your code.
