The FTX FAQ contains more information:

I reread the FAQ and it is still ambiguous to a non-engineer such as myself.
Here it is:

3. Does LUGNET own the stuff I put up?


Unless you specifically transfer copyright ownership: No, it does not.

When you create personal pages on LUGNET, you retain copyright ownership of
the data you input (assuming you own it in the first place). As part of
LUGNET’s Terms of Use Agreement, you grant LUGNET, among other things, a
non-exclusive license to adapt and publish your content on the World Wide
Web. Thus, LUGNET does not own your content but is a publisher of it.

You are free to use or publish your content (specifically, the data you
input) elsewhere or license it to others at your own discretion. Note,
however, that the license you grant to LUGNET when you input data is
perpetual (meaning forever), irrevocable (meaning that you can’t later
change your mind and reverse the grant of license), royalty-free (meaning
that LUGNET does not pay you for your content), worldwide, and applies to
any communications medium.

Then when you read the User Agreement it does not get any clearer on what
license I am granting to whom and for what. :-)  I assumed data or stuff
would include photos I posted.

Peace,

Alan
