Had no idea that it existed. All the best for your next venture!
OT: Does HN employ any licensing on the content? I checked FAQ/Guidelines. Couldn't find anything about HN content. So anyone can create something like OP or would it require special permission from YC?
Also can this idea extended for Reddit subs?
- patio11 12y agoArticles submitted to HN remain the copyright of the people who wrote them, not of YC. (HN Monthly has been scrupulous in observing copyrights.) Comments on HN, ditto, although YC has an implicit license to (at a minimum) display them.
- mixedmath 12y agoI also just returned from a search for licensing information. It's a bit peculiar, since it's not quite like HN produced the content. HN aggregated the content. Perhaps to do this completely honestly, one would need to check the licensing of each individual article. Since undoubtedly it is not clear for every article, I wonder what the "default" set of assumptions for an article posted on the internet is.
