The terms here are necessary to provide the services that we offer via Algorithmia. We need the right to run your code and make it available. It needs to be in perpetuity so that consumers of the API can put it in production with the assurance that it will continue to be available in the future.
That being said, the quoted passage lacks the context of the rest of our terms -- namely, yes, we get the right to make your work available, but in return it's OUR obligation to share the profits with the original authors.

- logn 12y agoThis just seems overly broad for your purposes. Plus you reserve the right to update the terms, yet you have an irrevocable license to your users' software. I just don't see this being realistic for anything except thin wrappers around FOSS projects. That's great in itself, but I'm not sure why you offer the "closed source" option for projects. Based on your terms, you could turn around and open source all those since users have given you power to sub-license. Granted, I doubt you'd do that but it demonstrates how needlessly broad your terms are. (I'm not a lawyer; this is just my speculation and not advice)
