Odd addition to the rule's

Now as stated "  You retain the full ownership of your creation " yet you would have no power to say any of us did not.

I mostly took inspiration from Global Game Jam rules  https://globalgamejam.org/news/be-cool-rules-ggj-2020

Where it states a particular License over the submitted work. I reworked that a little since it does not require any.

Usually, when you submit some work to a different party like a website, etc it might be that the rights are not clear.

Well thank you and after over looking the technical wording on their page "   5. Remember the licensing. All uploads (inclucode, assets, executables) will be shared and licensed under the Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International Creative Commons License.game " Is worry some and in the law "  CC provides an author flexibility and protects the people who use or redistribute an author's work from concerns of copyright infringement as long as they abide by the conditions that are specified in the license by which the author distributes the work " yet the last part " conditions that are specified in the license by which the author distributes the work  " but if I have to hand over every part of my work/team's work and say Hay don't do this they can in return say I'm allowed to under Creative Commons License.

also " Anything you create will remain your property within the terms of our licensing agreement after the jam is done. " so in that case you don't own your work ? I believe they know how many people don't read the about area let alone rule's. I would never join anything along through's line's, trying to go behind people's back's to say join this thing but your work in the end you actually gave us ownership of because you agreed to a thing you didn't read or understand.

Was not saying you was saying you would do such a thing just sounded weird reading it. Like I told someone after reading it as if the guy across the street walk's into your garden declaring the tomato's you have grown are he's, I got relied to " He can do that " and I said yes he can yet in doing so does not change the fact that they are not he's tomato's.

Thanks for doing such an in-depth research. To be fair, I did copy/paste the rules with a little change.
If you think that rule should be removed, I will do so because clearly you have more research than me.

Thank you again for your involvement!

First off no reasoning to remove telling someone "  You retain the full ownership of your creation " the thing that through me for a loop was it being in rule's, at no point should I be telling you what to do. I've always longed for knowledge and believe nothing should be taken at face value that one should always scratch the surface, I one day hope to get a higher education but fancy school's need lot's of money or you need a set IQ or not allowed to join witch is a pity.

Probably should be under a Q&A section, but I hope that the answer clears some misunderstanding
