Quindi sto per presentare una partita a una competizione, ma mentre guardavo le regole un pezzo mi ha catturato l'attenzione:
All Entries become the sole and exclusive property of Sponsor and will not be acknowledged or returned. Sponsor shall own all right, title and interest in and to each Entry, including without limitation all results and proceeds thereof and all elements or constituent parts of Entry (including without limitation the Mobile App, the Design Documents, the Video Trailer, the Playable and all illustrations, logos, mechanicals, renderings, characters, graphics, designs, layouts or other material therein) and all copyrights and renewals and extensions of copyrights therein and thereto. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Eligible Entrant shall and hereby does absolutely and irrevocably assign and transfer all of his or her right, title and interest in his or her Entry to Sponsor, and Sponsor shall have the right and may authorize others to use, copy, sublicense, transmit, modify, manipulate, publish, delete, reproduce, perform, distribute, display and otherwise exploit the Entry (and to create and exploit derivative works thereof) in any manner, including without limitation to embody the Entry, in whole or in part, in apps and other works of any kind or nature created, developed, published or distributed by Sponsor and to and register as a trademark in any country in Sponsor’s name any component of the Entry, without such Eligible Entrant reserving any rights or claims with respect thereto. Sponsor shall have the exclusive right, in perpetuity, throughout the Territory to change, adapt, modify, use, combine with other material and otherwise exploit the Entry in all media now known or hereafter devised and in any manner, in its sole and absolute discretion, without the need for any payment or credit to Entrant.
Quindi il gioco diventerà proprietà dello sponsor; tuttavia, non chiedono il codice sorgente. Quindi, continuerò a possedere i diritti sul codice sorgente, qualunque cosa significhi? E se non dovesse vincere la competizione, potrò pubblicarlo da solo senza i loro marchi? Sono molto nuovo nel settore della legalità del software, quindi gradirei qualsiasi chiarimento.
Poiché c'è una possibilità che non posseggo nemmeno la fonte, è possibile rendere il software open source del motore di base del gioco con una licenza non restrittiva e includerlo nel progetto, quindi almeno posseggo ancora il motore di gioco? O non funziona in questo modo?
