Oh man - what a typo to make! LOL. Teach me to try and write between two other things! LOL.
You state here and on the LJs of others that there are no plans for profitmaking,
Hmm, not sure we're talking about the same thing. Fanlib is a FOR PROFIT website. We don't hide that fact. We make a profit but not by taking your work and reselling it. We make it on advertising like everyone else.
However, by submitting the Submissions to FanLib, You hereby grant FanLib a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, and perform the Submissions in connection with the Website.
prepare derivative works of... that just has me a little on edge...
Ah, but there are parts missing. It says IN CONNECTION WITH THE WEBSITE. We can't take your work and sell it in a book. This allows us to feature it on a different part of the website and that's it. Really, no big mystery. Yahoo Groups had (has) a similar clause so they can feature groups in advertising, etc.
But the big clause you're missing is this: "The foregoing license granted by You terminates once You remove or delete a Submission from the Website.".
So if you take your stuff down, Fanlib can't do anything.
