Hello Jim, Ales,

I've started to look into this, and I have a *major* problem with it.
To register, we have to accept the License terms, and they seem to be 
much more stringent than the SCA I already signed.

In particular, section 10:

"10. You agree that with respect to any “moral” or equivalent rights 
(including, without limitation, rights of attribution, integrity, 
disclosure, and withdrawal) You hereby: (i) assign such rights to Sun, 
(ii) waive such rights and (iii) agree never to assert such rights or to 
institute or maintain any action against Sun relative to any such rights 
in the Content You provide. To the extent that such rights cannot be 
assigned or waived by operation of law, You grant to Sun, a 
royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable and worldwide license to fully 
exercise all such rights akin to ownership, with rights to sublicense 
through multiple levels of sublicensees and further, You consent to 
Sun's use sufficient to allow Sun to exercise the rights granted herein."

I DO NOT want to waive any right, nor assign any right to Sun further 
that what was done in the SCA, section 2, which states "joint-ownership":

"2. With respect to any worldwide copyrights, or copyright applications 
and registrations, in your contribution:
• you hereby assign to us joint ownership, and to the extent that such 
assignment is or becomes invalid, ineffective or unenforceable, you
hereby grant to us a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide, 
no-charge, royalty-free, unrestricted license to exercise all rights
under those copyrights. This includes, at our option, the right to 
sublicense these same rights to third parties through multiple levels of
sublicensees or other licensing arrangements;
• you agree that each of us can do all things in relation"

Sorry, I will not use this portal as is, and will discourage others to 
do so as long as it's not stated that only the SCA applies to all 
user-provided material.

I hope that this oversight will soon be corrected,

Laurent
