Hi Sway,
Thanks for your enthusiasm for Gemini and the competition. We’re excited to have you participate!
I understand your concerns about maintaining stealth mode during the competition. We can accommodate your request not to include your submission in the People’s Choice Award voting, ensuring it remains private. However, I do want to be transparent: if your project is selected for one of the other prizes, we would need to announce and showcase it publicly to recognize your achievement.
Regarding the promotional rights, the license you mentioned allows us to potentially feature your project in marketing materials that highlight the capabilities of Gemini. This is intended to celebrate the innovative work of our developers, and wouldn’t involve disclosing proprietary details or interfering with your market strategy.
I wanted the terms to basically allow us to be able to showcase people’s innovation across multiple channels and through a variety of ways and the only reason we ask to see the code is only to make sure the Gemini API was integrated other than that we wont be doing anything else with it.
Thanks @Sway @Viraj_Vaitha
