I recently attended a few days of an American Football training camp and took quite a few pictures. When looking up some of the players on Wikipedia later, I noticed that many did not have any pictures of them in their entries. I thought that by uploading some of my images, it might get me some exposure so I checked out what uploading entailed.
In the upload form they have the following options for licenses:
Free licenses:

My question is, if I decide to upload an image will I lose all rights to it? I'm just not sure if the license only applies to that exact size/resolution representation or any size of it.
For example, if I upload an image with only 72 PPI, resized to 300 x 150, will I lose rights to the full-size (RAW) version of it too?
