Why does that text concern you?

If you want Instagram to display your photograph back to you (or other users at your request) then you have to grant them a license like this.

Where terms get concerning is when they want a redistribution license, or they want to allow unnamed third party "partners" to be able to utilise your photograph royalty free. Neither of which appear in the snippet above.

> Instagram a non-exclusive, fully paid and royalty-free, transferable, sub-licensable, worldwide license to use the Content

Does "sub-licensable" not allow the "partners" you speak of?

Yeah, I probably could have found a better quote, but it's a random TOS and I'm at work haha. At the end of the day, I don't see a reason to believe why Kodak wouldn't make a play to control the images they scan/upload as much as possible. Or a reason to believe TOS wouldn't change to make that so once adoption of the new Super 8 is at an acceptable level to Kodak.

The sub-licenseable, and transferable parts.

That's pretty much "Screw you we can do what we want now".
