I'm sure the reason for Brazil is similar.

Also: "Entrants warrant that their codes are their own original work and, as such, they are the sole and exclusive owner and rights holder of the submitted code and that they have the right to submit the code in the Contest and grant all required licenses."

Does that mean exploits can't be cribbed off someone else's (open source) ones or use libraries? Not being able to do that completely changes the game.

We added this section for the write-ups. We want to be able to republish write-ups and their code if we want.

Presumably because of local laws in Brazil or Quebec; probably too much of a hassle for Google to comply.
