    The thing is, the license probably doesn’t mean a whole lot in that case because of the way content is shared on the Fediverse.

    As you say, you actively send your content to other websites, and licenses need at least some degree of active acceptance. Including a license field in the metadata almost certainly does not meet any kind of legal threshold. It’s significantly weaker than the EULAs they everyone knows that nobody reads.

      The content posted here has no obvious license. I wonder if an administrator could just put any license of his choice on your posts.
