By giving the IUCr Computing Commission unrestricted use of their art as a logo, the person submitting is essentially surrendering their copyright. This is fairly common in contests of this sort. That doesn't mean they lose credit for it. As an example, I'm having a professional photo taken that I want a publicist to be able to copy and distribute at will. To do so, I am purchasing the copyright from the photographer. His name will still appear with the picture as photographer but it'll be mine to do with as I please. The typical language for something like this is: All submissions become the property of the IUCr Computing Commission. I don't think that will disuade submissions. I could be wrong. We sign over copyright of our research papers when we submit them to Acta Cryst. Still our work, but their property in that form.
