Back side of a freebee coin: rights waiver

Until the following two paragraphs are present, I see no sense in creation of my own glossary in such a place: <em>However, by submitting the Materials to the Website, <strong>you hereby grant CSOFT a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sub-licensable and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, and perform the submitted Materials in connection with the Website and CSOFT's business, including without limitation for promoting and redistributing part or all of the Website (and derivative works thereof) in any media formats or distribution methods. You also hereby grant each user of the Website a non-exclusive license to access your submitted Materials through the Website, and to use, reproduce, distribute, display and perform such submitted Materials as permitted through the functionality of the Website and under these Terms of Use. The above licenses granted by you in the submitted Materials are perpetual and irrevocable.<strong> You agree that this license includes the right for CSOFT to make such Materials available to other companies, organizations or individuals for the distribution or publication of such Materials on other media and services with no compensation paid to you with respect to the Materials that you submit, post, transmit or otherwise make available through the Website.<em> As a solo service provider I am a business and not a complete idiot. If I have no (paid) option to keep my business intellectual assets properly kept under my own strict control, why on the Earth will I feed the platform owner with the intellectual product I sell to keep myself fed and warm? Such terms of use make this site unusable for any sane linguist. :-(

    Hi VS, It’s nice meeting you. I see you are trying to benefit from the TermWiki exposure already to help generate potential opportunities for your business which is great. TermWiki will soon have an option so you can post your CV and other info for the world to see. I bet you’ve benefited somehow from the terminology translations available on TermWiki for the month you’ve been here. It’s not that bad to give something back to your fellow linguists who have worked equally hard to make the site useful for everyone. Without the clause you mentioned, the site would not have been able to show you those terms. BTW, if you translate some of the terms, you profile will show up on more pages. A smart linguist will see it and use it to his/her full advantage. :-)
