Personally, I'd sue the University for making me sign over the rights of my written work to a company in order to get a grade. I'd be fine if I was just giving them the right to archive it, but the license says that it is a "a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, world-wide, irrevocable license to reproduce, transmit, display, disclose, archive and otherwise use in connection with its Services". Seriously? As anyone who writes often knows, it's a difficult process, and I'll be damned if I sign over the right to reproduce by writing to a company royalty-free. I'm an English minor and I haven't encountered this yet, but if I do I'll be sure to keep the HN community apprised.
