Yeah, but they're still saying that you grant them unlimited perpetual
right to use and sublicense what you submit. It still contains the
following:

             By submitting Content to any Yahoo property, you
automatically grant, or warrant that the owner of such
             Content has expressly granted, Yahoo the royalty-free,
perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive and
             fully sublicensable right and license to use, reproduce,
modify, adapt, publish, translate, create
             derivative works from, distribute, perform and display such
Content (in whole or part) worldwide
             and/or to incorporate it in other works in any form, media,
or technology now known or later
             developed.

With those rights, who needs ownership?

See http://docs.yahoo.com/info/terms/ in section 8.
