Looks cool - should I be concerned about the terms and conditions? "However, by posting Content using the Service you grant us the right and license to use, modify, publicly perform, publicly display, reproduce, and distribute such Content on and through the Service. You agree that this license includes the right for us to make your Content available to other users of the Service, who may also use your Content subject to these Terms."

An unlimited grant to both the company and all users of the product is absolutely insane and makes it entirely unusable from a commercial standpoint. Unfortunate, it seems interesting.

GitHub has similar terms [1], which are there to ensure that nobody can share their content through the platform and then claim that they never allowed them to copy it. Sketch.systems probably wants to provide a collaboration feature, which would need some kind of license grant.

GitHub's terms are better, though, because they clearly explain the purpose of the requirement.

They aren't similar. GitHub's terms clearly restrict their license for use within the service. Sketch.systems grants an unlimited right to use and distribute AND gives the same rights to all of their customers. That is incredibly broad.

Hi, I'm one of the creators.

One of the use cases we want to support is to make it easy to throw together an idea quickly, and then share that idea with a friend via URL --- just like you might using CodePen, JsFiddle, or Github Gist.

These terms let us do that. If you have specific concerns about this, you or your lawyers should feel free to email me at [e-mail] and we can try and get 'em sorted.

Its in a non-commercial phase at the moment, it seems. However a condition like that will keep it there.
