It was this licensing that was the consideration, not the act of publication.
Well, that certainly is an unusual interpretation of what constitutes consideration, but it's incorrect. Consideration is defined as requiring money or "considerable time and effort" to enter.
Note your cited example of licensing does not require considerable time and effort, just a signature. The time and effort to sign one's name is miniscule. In fact, unless you're a yak or earwig or jellyfish, signing your name on a form doesn't really constitute "considerable time and effort" by any stretch of the imagination.
However, as I'm fairly confident that there aren't an abundance of yaks or earwigs or jellyfish submitting entries, I'm not too concerned.
TL;DR: It's not called consideration, it's called properly filling out an entry form.
