Thank you for making your comment licensed under creative common. I’ll now steal it, repackage it and sell for 9.99$ without even acknowledging your existence
But… it’s a Non-commercial Attribution license. /s/ns
I’m joking, but on a more serious note for those that don’t know, not all Creative Commons licenses allow you to monetize, and be sure to actually read which version of license is used if you plan to use a CC work for anything other than personal use.
You joke but when “media” outlets boldly steal 90% of their content directly from reddit posts and comments without attribution for commercial use, maybe including a license isnt crazy anymore?
They’re already stealing the content. You think a license is going to stop them from doing it anyway? Who says this license is valid in any jurisdiction that the comment is being held on (yay federation!)? Who says that a random user submitting something to a public forum where data is stored by third parties in order to run that forum can be licensed anyway?
If my server makes me money in some form, and you submit stuff after the fact and license it yourself, that doesn’t magically apply nor does it bind the server owners to anything. Unfortunately the comment you submit to a homeserver doesn’t actually belong to you at that point.
Case and point, the community we’re in !linux says licensed under CC BY 3.0, and this user claims CC BY-NC-SA 4.0, but the community has not necessarily given him the right to post ANY license attached to his comment and still post. conflicting licenses would be at play. And this is ignoring that lemmy.ml may not have granted either !linux OR the user to apply their own license to content, you know… since they’re storing the data and own the server/service.
It would take even the most junior of lawyer to get it thrown out. Especially since it’s fair use to report on the goings on of public. Even if that reporting agency makes money by reporting on the comment.
I don’t think linking to a licence that increases the rights of third parties to do things with your words (over the default all rights reserved) will do very much for you there.
I think you’re missing my point. You are giving people more rights to use your comments by putting them under CC licence than not putting them under any.
No, how was I supposed to infer that you were fine with non-commercial AI from your two letter response to why you were licencing your comment?
I think its fairly naive to think that linking to a licence will do anything to stop commercial AI but not open ones, but you go for it if you think it’s worthwhile.
Year of the linux handheld then?

But will you train an LLM with it??
But at least you know you’re a bad boy and Santa will know too.
Oh my God! Someone call the police!
Why did you license your comment?
He doesn’t want to let us use his comment for commercial purposes, which is a shame. I don’t know how I’m going to pay for dinner now.

It’s a bit out there, but I see why he does it. It is a shame that the media has sunk to such lows.
Christ your comment is the funniest thing I’ve read in a while. Thank you for the laugh
My comment is licensed under GPL. If you look at it when you reply, it means your reply is a derivative work and must retain the license. Have fun.

Nobody knows yet 🤷 I’ll do it anyway

I think you’re missing the point. It’s a non-commercial license. Non-commercial AI is completely fine by me. Commercial is not.
