Not in legal terms it doesn't. In the absence of a licence, a copyrighted work may not be distributed in any way. So you could theoretically sue those hobbyists.
Just bite the bullet and pick any of the common licenses. Sounds like you'd want one of CC-*-NC or perhaps AGPL.
- londons_explore 4y agoExcept no hobbyist seems to worry about such things. Occasionally I get messages asking me about the license, and I usually reply to them asking what they want to do/build and then I give them permission for whatever it is they want to make (for free).
- irdc 4y ago> Except no hobbyist seems to worry about such things. The hobbyists that you know or have contacted you don't seem to worry about these things. I can assure you this hobbyist takes licensing very seriously, and I'm not the only one. I may at some point want to distribute my work, and having a dependency without a license makes that pretty much impossible.
- pseudalopex 4y agoThe 2nd sentence sounds like hobbyists worrying about such things.
