A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It depends on the website hosting location. TOS,, users location and relevant international copyright treaties.
It's not a one-size-fits-all.
As a UK citizen I can't claim my (US) first amendment right to call you a "cunt".
It's against the website TOS and I'm not American.
Putting a license at the bottom clears any ambiguity.
Funnily enough you're only highlighting your own "Zoomer" naivety of law by making your "Boomer" comment.
And the license means fuck all on any public website where you waive your right to privacy by using. Esp by federating across other websites, where rules are different across every place it's federated to.
So, expecting to apply a CC license to comments made publicly, is like expecting to not be recorded or photographed when in a public place.
And nice try on the zoomer comment, but way wrong. People trying to license their comments has happened for quite a while and it's always been shown as not binding. Trying to impose your licensing on a public website is laughable.
Also, the 1st amendment has nothing to do with what you can or can't say to a private person. So, please don't speak and try to compare things you obviously don't understand.
So am I understanding you correctly? When I develop open-source software and put it on GitHub, the license, which GitHub offers you to set, is actually irrelevant because since the code is on a public website, it's somehow automatically public domain?
Please refrain from name calling on Beehaw. Our one rule is "Be(e) Nice" and I'd like to ask you to reconsider how you are engaging in this discussion.
