I'd like to second a change for so that all future posts are explicitly under whatever license is needed. The mission of LW involves outreach, and you can't effectively conduct outreach if every time a book is published or a podcast is made every author has to be individually contacted for explicit permission.

How do others feel about making this change for all future submissions?

What would the default license be when someone chooses to "opt out of CC-BY"? Would it be CC-BY-SA?

Voted CC-BY-SA, want CC-BY-SA with opt-out ability. I don't imagine it being used often, but if someone really wants it, it should be there.

I can't edit a poll, but obviously option 2 was meant to read "allow", not "require".

I think your intent shows through anyway - content is available under CC-BY unless you specifically opt out.
