It's almost like the most effective way to publish without T&Cs is to just, you know, omit the section and publish what you want without T&Cs.

- terrabiped 6mo agoInteresting question. I wonder what the default (implied) T&C would be if nothing has been explicitly stated. For example, publishing a source code without an explicit license doesn't make it open source.
- volemo 6mo agoI guess it’d be whatever the other party’s lawyer can persuade the judge into.
- pocksuppet 6mo agoMost T&Cs don't mean anything anyway. There are no default T&Cs, there's just the law. Publishing code without a license doesn't give it an "implicit all-rights-reserved license" - it's just illegal to copy because that's what copyright law says. A license is a conditional waiver of copyright law, a contract where the author promises not to enforce copyright against you if you fulfil certain conditions. (and this is legally binding so they actually can't enforce copyright against you)
