Sure but copy and pasting stuff isn't a practical solution? The DDOS angle is unrelated? You can do that whenever you want. The risk is other people profiting/taking credit for your work. If all of this is true, why does anyone put a license on any software? It doesn't mean someone can't copy paste, but it gives them recourse. Enabling CORS is completely giving up any recourse you have IMHO
