Hello!

Could the organizers clarify whether the Nonexclusive License portion of the Terms and Conditions applies only to winners of monetary prizes, or to all participants who enter the jam? 

It seems that an organization that cares and values indie creators wouldn't ask for such extensive free licensing for art, coding and other content from indie developers? These terms seem to make some sense if the creators are being in some way compensated for their work with the monetary prize, but is it true that all the creators who don't get the prize are just giving away their content for free for IndieCade to use into perpetuity? 

I think all the developers might appreciate clarity on this, as this seems to be the exact kind of problem that many who work in freelance/creative spaces run into frequently, and I'm surprised if an organization like IndieCade is doing something like that. If that is the case, could the organizers provide an explanation as to why that is?

Thanks!

The wording of the license basically allows IndieCade to demo the game at their festivals but not profit off of them or resell them. This is necessary since the jam is attached to a group (IndieCade) that also runs a festival/expo and plans to show/demo some of the games created during the jam at the festival to help promote what we are doing with game jams and the works of the creators who participated.
