Putting a license on a comment isn’t how licensing works.

One party can’t unilaterally decide we are in a contract (what a license is).

If they moved their comment behind a wall and required clicking β€œI agree” then it would be a valid agreement.

It’s the same thing as people posting β€œdon’t use my data” in their Facebook wall. It’s not how legal agreements work.

Any AI crawler will just suck up their data regardless of them putting a license in their comments.

If they truly want to stop AI from using their comment, they should advocate for a more robust robots.txt on their instances server.

Only a couple of bots respect that file anyway
