#2: Initial revision
I'm not a lawyer so I will preface this with saying the following is my opinion of what it means: The law reads literally, and I think NO you don't lose all rights, but you are **_granting_** them unlimited use. **_"Permission to use the material in any way [we] deems it fit"_** means ANY way you can think of, including publishing it for money under their own name, editing and modifying it and selling it. They did not mention selling it but they do not have to mention that specifically, the right to sell it is included as part of your granting them permission to use it in ANY WAY they see fit. They may also "deem" it fit to publish for money without giving you credit for it. That is a right you can legally surrender, many ghost writers and song writers do surrender it.
