That is exactly my point. It is extremely alarming and really something people should consider before submitting to this contest. As soon as you submit, whether your win or not, you may very well have just given them their next idea for nothing in return.

From the terms, it seems clear to me that if you win (and accept the grant money), you would have to give google whatever they want, and let them do whatever they want with it.

It seems inconceivable to me, that a company like google, would grant the prize money for a client/server app and not want to have the server piece as well.
