I know what the Creative Commons is but not this new thing or why it keeps popping up in comments on Lemmy

    Because you are effectively spreading misinformation.

    Your behaviour leads people to believe that in order for their comments not to be used for commercial AI training they need to have a signature. But that isn’t true, at most the signature is allowing more uses of your comment, not restricting anything.

    People already struggle to understand copyright. Adding more confusion is doing everyone reading your license a disservice.

      Are you a lawyer?

      Including a link to a Creative Commons license in a comment footer will not do that.

        I am not. Are you?

        Including a link to a Creative Commons license in a comment footer will not do that.

        It is when you give it a different name which doesn’t reflect the actual behaviour of the license.

          That’s not a different name. It’s a sentence that’s a layman’s description of my intention for including it.

          Initially I was just using the actual Creative Commons license name, but it was confusing people just seeing letters and numbers.

          which doesn’t reflect the actual behaviour of the license.

            Nice how you never answered if you’re a lawyer.
