But whats the point of giving out a license along the comment? Are you giving permission to use your comment?

Maybe it has to do with people stealing content to train AI? Atleast now if there is an opportunity to be a part of a lawsuit or smth they can claim they provided a licence. I dunno just a guess

For non-commercial use, yes. Aka no closed-source AI.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Aaah, AI training data. That makes sense now
