We are working on the legal terms right now so it will be available soon. Basically we are only trying to cover our bases so that we won't get into trouble legally. We are in the process of getting incorporated, and very soon TubeCaption will be its own business entity that both Javier (my cofounder) and I can safely run (from the basement!). Once this process is done, we will have all the terms spelled out fair and square. Thanks again for the excellent point of who has the "ownership" of the captions. To answer your question, we don't intend to own ANY of the captions -- simply because they are NOT ours to begin with. We want to be the good guy who people would go to and look for CC for videos. We value the contributions of anyone who spends time working on the captions (it's a labor intensive task!) and the great value which the captions would bring to the community. We will stay free forever and we hope more people would benefit from our service. Alex @codemman38,

Sort of a major omission. ^_^ (Really, all I really need to know is if the captioning becomes the property of TubeCaption, or if I can use the same captions on other sites as well.)
