English term or phrase: to the extent not also the Entrant

Hello,

I came across the above term and would like to make sure I get it right. It occurs twice in the below paragraph, which is a part of a competition’s rules. Entrants who participate in this competition have to sign release forms to clear certain copyrights in favour of the competition’s entities.

-- The Releases enable Entrants to confirm and provide proof that they have obtained all relevant clearances so as to permit the use of the Entries in connection with the Competition … including, but not limited to, permissions with respect to producers (to the extent not also the Entrant), co-director(s) (if applicable), writers (to the extent not also the Entrant), any other underlying literary material on which the Entry may be based, location, cast, crew, props, third-party copyright or trademarked materials/property, and any composer or performer(s) of any musical recordings used in the Entry. -- END

My question is “what is the status of the Entrant in the phrase in question?”

Thanks in advance for your help!

to the extent that they do not include the entrant

Explanation:
You are right to be confused as the document is poorly drafted.
The aim appears to be to obtain clearances from any persons who are producers or writers of relevant material, but only to the extent that the entrant is not the producer or writer. So clearances must be obtained from third party producers or writers and from the entrants co-writers and co-producers.
