@nixCraft I don't even publish any of the works I make manually under copyright but under copyleft. Copyright stinks. If AI images can't be copyrighted, maybe they can't be copylefted either, but who cares? More free content for anyone to use!

@LordCaramac @nixCraft You don’t have a choice about copyright. It applies automatically. The license terms you use don’t apply without it.

@mos_8502 @nixCraft Well, any copyleft license is basically just copyright turned inside out, to ensure everybody get to access it and use it, instead of limiting access and use for profit.

@LordCaramac @nixCraft Copyright only means the holder has the right to dictate terms. The license is the terms dictated. Without copyright, license terms don’t exist.

@mos_8502 @nixCraft Without copyright, there would be no need for copyleft.
