I too have thought about this quite a bit over the past few days. I was
excited to see a train building contest. I was disappointed to read through
the fine print and copyright assignment verbage. I still think it would be
good for the LUGNET train community to support this contest. Just don't
enter anything you have real strong feelings about. $100 really is a
trivial amount of money for giving up the rights to one's design. It would
be interesting if the person who ended up winning then decided not to sign
the copyright assignment.
I will probably enter something simply to show my support for LEGO Trains.
It won't be anything special though (not that I have all that many special
train creations). Maybe I'll submit my TTE - that might create an interest
copyright assignment situation. ;-)
