Hi,
in section 15.: "Participants grant to the Competition Organizer the right to use their winning submissions and the source code, including the training code, used to generate the submission, for any purpose whatsoever, without further approval."
Does it mean we renounce all intellectual property and rights of our code submission?
Hi,
Unfortunately, we are unable to discuss the interpretation of specific legal matters relating to the competition. Please refer to the following competition rules for further details:
competition rules - section 20.1: Prize winner must deliver to the Competition Organizer the final model’s software code (complete training pipeline including hyper-parameters tuning code and inference code) as used to generate the winning submission and associated documentation written in English. The delivered software code must be capable of generating, automatically end-to-end (from training to inference) the winning submission and contain a description of resources required to build and/or run the executable code successfully.
competition rules - section 20.4: Prize winner will grant the Competition Organizer a nonexclusive license to the winning model’s software code and represent that he/she/them have the unrestricted right to grant that license.
terms and legal considerations - section 15: Participants grant to the Competition Organizer the right to use their winning submissions and the source code, including the training code, used to generate the submission, for any purpose whatsoever, without further approval.
Shai,
