Since it says "non-exclusive", I would say it means you retain the right to republish.
See ALL the stars!

It essentially says, "You give us the permissions we need to be able to display and promote your stuff. (And FYI, we can't remove deleted posts immediately, though we'll try.)"

Da Rules excuse all the inaccuracy in the world. Listen to them, not me.
Rainbows hurt.
Also think about putting a creative commons license on your page if you're really worried about retaining your rights.

Wordpress's To S and your license are both largely moot—putting it on the internet in any form generally counts as first publication, which is what almost all publishers want. So you have all the rights, but you're choosing to yourself use the one that you'd normally give to the publishers.

^ Yeah. It probably makes sense to split your texts into two divisions: Those for self-publishing, and those you try to get published by someone else. That way, one can benefit the other.

like I did. :)
I've been thinking to publish my works for some time now, but remembering I'm practically stranded on a third-world country, I think publishing physically (in English) won't be too probable.
So, I decided that I will use online publishing.
No, I'm not talking about Amazon's FreeSpace or something like that, just a site that's nice enough to host my content and keeps the content mine.
I considered WordPress for hosting my original work (and fanfics), but then this comes up in their Terms of Service:
Can someone clarify what this actually mean? Does submitting my story to such sites equals losing my right to publish it physically in the future?
