Looking at the very bottom of AI Impacts home page - the disclaimer looks rather unfriendly.

I'd suggest petitioning to change it to the LessWrong variety

Here is the text: To the extent possible under law, the person who associated CC0 with AI Impacts has waived all copyright and related or neighboring rights to AI Impacts. This work is published from: United States.

What do you mean by 'unfriendly'?

If you take a look and have thoughts, we would love to hear them, either in the comments here or in our feedback form.

My comment is intended as helpful feedback. If it is not helpful I'd be happy to delete it.

Your original feedback seems helpful but your follow-up doesn't. You could have said "I don't know" or "I have nothing further to add on that point".

I mean unfriendly in the ordinary sense of the word. Maybe uninviting would be as good.

Perhaps a careful reading of that disclaimer would be friendly or neutral - I don't know. My quick reading of it was: by interacting with AI Impacts you could be waiving some sort of right. To be honest I don't know what a CCO is.

I have nothing further to add to this.

Ah, I see. Thanks. We just meant that Paul and I are waiving our own rights to the content - it's like Wikipedia in the sense that other people are welcome to use the content. We should perhaps make that clearer.

"waived all"? you mean "assigned all" right?

Comment author: KatjaGrace 03 February 2015 05:48:43PM 1 point [-]

I don't think so—the copyright rights to AI Impacts are waived, in the sense that we don't have them.

Comment author: [deleted] 03 February 2015 11:47:02PM *  0 points [-]

The text I was questioning (see above) would have the contributor waive copyright without assigning it, which ends up placing the contributed work in the public domain. If that is the intention I find it a little surprising.

Comment author: KatjaGrace 09 February 2015 05:57:27PM 0 points [-]

Yes, it's in the public domain.

Cool, so I take all the content of the site, re-purpose it as I see fit, including changing attributions or using in derivative work without attribution. That's what you had in mind, right?

Comment author: KatjaGrace 10 February 2015 04:11:59PM 0 points [-]

Yes. What is the problematic case?
