It's kind of covered in the ToS actually. Essentially, FanLib can do whatever it wants with the content, up to and including republish the work for profit. In return, the fan writer gets...nothing. Not even legal protection if the copyright owner decided to go after the writer.

In addition, rather than just removing the offending work per the copyright owner's request (which most fanfic archives would do, up to and including FF.net), FanLib reserves the right to go into the work itself and edit as they see fit.

Yeah. Draconian is right. I used to be the boss of freelance writers once upon a time, and if I presented them with a contract like this, I would've had my head removed by both my bosses and potential freelancers.
