Re: Giant Vegetable Seed Image/Poetry Lottery

"Will entering your lottery mean giving up ownership of the image or poem in
question?"

All information on Giant Vegenetics is released under the GNU Free
Documentation License unless noted by the poster that the terms are
different. If you wish to maintain ownership of your poem/image simply
state that you own it and note that it may not be reproduced without
your permission. What the GNU FDL means is anyone can come along and
reuse and redistribute the information provided they follow the terms
of the GNU FDL. This is the same licensing strategy that has blossomed
with the Open Source Software movement and stands in stark contrast to
websites which claim ownership of community contributed data, often
locking that information behind closed doors in "members only" areas.
We and many others feel that community contributed information belongs
to the community and should never be held back from anyone and have
found that the GNU Free Document License best matches this philosophy.

Giant Vegenetics does not want to own your data, we want to free it.

"Also, can the images/poems have been previously published?"

Yes, as long as you are posting works that you have the right to post
then everything is OK.

Thanks for the excellent questions,
Jason
