The part of this hackathon that concerns me is this:
> Are granting us an irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide right and license to: (i) use, review, assess, test, and otherwise analyze your Entry and all its content in connection with this Hackathon; and (ii) feature your Entry and all its content in connection with the marketing, sale, or promotion of this Hackathon and of Salesforce.com (including but not limited to internal and external presentations, tradeshows, and screen shots of the Hackathon Entry process in press releases) in all media (now known or later developed);
Maybe this isn't their intention, but win or lose there's nothing stopping Salesforce from taking your submission and running with it.
- kbutler 13y agoI don't see "distribute" or "use in contexts outside the Hackathon." They will surely have enough info to recreate your submission, but the language above doesn't explicitly allow them to make commercial use of your submission.
- craigkerstiens 13y agoUnder the terms of the Rules and Regulations they explicitly say that they don't claim any right to own or use the Entry. They do get a license to use, review, asses, test, market, promote the entries in connection with the Hackathon. It generally seems it can be used for marketing but nothing really beyond that scope.
