This is really one of the worst submissions I've seen in the many years I've been on here. It offers no cogent, insightful argument why as a developer I should be afraid nor anything particularly useful other than give up the opportunity to develop for a lucrative, ground breaking platform. Brilliant.

And as a developer surely this person would understand why this clause is necessary. Because when a user uploads a photo to a service they will use it, copy it, adapt it (e.g. re-encode, make thumbnail), display it and distribute it (e.g. to CDNs). All of which needs a sublicense in order to do.
