The best route to take would be to mention it in the rules. For example, a
line in the rules might read, "By submitting a ship to be registered, a player
agrees that the Ship Database Manager has rights to display, copy, store, and
resize all images submitted by the player...etc...etc."
Something like that, so that the player retains the copyright, but by joining
he agrees to let all the above happen. A sort of implied consent, I think.
This way there will be no confusion or conflicts (unless the player neglects to
go over the rules).
Other ideas?
