It does, actually. From the TOS:
Quote:
16. Copyright in Your Content

deviantART does not claim ownership rights in Your Content. For the sole purpose of enabling us to make your Content available through the Service, you grant to deviantART a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to reproduce, distribute, re-format, store, prepare derivative works based on, and publicly display and perform Your Content. Please note that when you upload Content, third parties will be able to copy, distribute and display your Content using readily available tools on their computers for this purpose although other than by linking to your Content on deviantART any use by a third party of your Content could violate paragraph 4 of these Terms and Conditions unless the third party receives permission from you by license.
Maybe 'own' is the wrong word, but they can use it however they want and you can't do anything about it. Photobucket has this same wording in their TOS if you make your content public.

Edit...it actually says that in items 3 and 4 of the Submission Agreement link.
