I just realized that there is so much noise about #Meta and very little about creating template legal policies that instances can adopt that prohibit commercial use of user data.Whatever you think of defederation there are easy ways to do that. Legal policies on the other hand are complex and require expertise and often money.Maybe #LawFedi can help crowdsource templates of strict noncommercial legal policies for the #Fediverse so instance admins do not have to figure it out themselves?

@franktaber@mas.to Licensing of posts should be part of the protocol IMO.Maybe not a support for all kinds of custom licenses, but at least "All rights reserved other than those needed to store and display this message" and all the creative commons.Just a little tag attached to the post CC-0, CC-BY, All right reserved, etc.

@matthieu_xyz @franktaber And, most importantly, CC noncommercial share alike.Of course, licensing is one thing. Actually holding trillion-dollar corporations liable for licensing violations is a whole other thing.But at least it establishes intent.

@aral @matthieu_xyz @franktaber You all seem to be forgetting that due to the Berne convention, every copyrightable work is automatically proprietary and is thus automatically "All Rights Reserved", although everyone is authorized to merely read your posts, as you've made them publicly available.I'm not too concerned about commercial distribution of my posts, as any attempt to commercialize my freedom posts will be a win for me and a lose for proprietary software.I cannot think of any reasons why you should use NC versions of CC licenses - you should stick with SA ones versions that don't allow freedom to be taken away.Maybe I should license my posts under the AGPLv3-or-later or the GPDLv1.3-or-later, hmm.
