I am afraid this sounds like "we get all rights, you keep all liability". I can't say I like it. One potential loophole is as follows: Tenable could (this is purely hypothetical, I don't suggest they are going to do it, God forbid) exercise its "all rights" to reuse the submission as a part of a commercial service including some guarantees, and redirect all blame back to the original author who "acknowledged full responsibility" when anything goes wrong. I think the following set of rules would be more appropriate: - the author grants Tenable the rights to redistribute the submission in a form preserving its integrity and to use the information contained in the submission in any way - the author is responsible for any 3rd party copyright violation etc. caused by the redistribution of the submission - Tenable redistributes the submission "as is" without any guarantee of correctness etc. --Pavel Kankovsky aka Peak [ Boycott Microsoft--http://www.vcnet.com/bms ] "Resistance is futile.
