Putting a license on a comment isnโ€™t how licensing works.

One party canโ€™t unilaterally decide we are in a contract (what a license is).

If they moved their comment behind a wall and required clicking โ€œI agreeโ€ then it would be a valid agreement.

Itโ€™s the same thing as people posting โ€œdonโ€™t use my dataโ€ in their Facebook wall. Itโ€™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.
