- giantg2 5y agoNot if copyright is not claimed.
- Dylan16807 5y agoCopyright is automatic.
- giantg2 5y agoTrue, I mean if you dedicate it or decide not to defend it.
- Dylan16807 5y agoIt's really splitting hairs to say that dedicating it isn't a license. Especially because you need a fallback license in many countries. Deciding not to defend it means it's still copyright infringement to use the unlicensed code, and they could change their mind at any time.
- giantg2 5y agoTrue. I guess this entire comment thread isn't germane to the post topic given the root comment is a hypothetical that isn't actually related to court decision.
