I know what the Creative Commons is but not this new thing or why it keeps popping up in comments on Lemmy

    Because you are effectively spreading misinformation.

    Are you a lawyer?

    People already struggle to understand copyright. Adding more confusion is doing everyone reading your license a disservice.

    Including a link to a Creative Commons license in a comment footer will not do that.

      I am not. Are you?

      Including a link to a Creative Commons license in a comment footer will not do that.

      It is when you give it a different name which doesn’t reflect the actual behaviour of the license.

        That’s not a different name. It’s a sentence that’s a layman’s description of my intention for including it.

        Initially I was just using the actual Creative Commons license name, but it was confusing people just seeing letters and numbers.

        which doesn’t reflect the actual behaviour of the license.
