I recently went to a hackathon where participants owned code they wrote, but no mention was made of who ideas belonged to. What category does that fall into?

Since the general HN consensus on such things is "execution > idea" is it all right if a hackathon says "We might use your idea in our products"?

PS. Obviously, it's never OK if they say "We own your idea and you can't use it anymore".
