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.
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?
“waived all”? you mean “assigned all” right?
I don’t think so—the copyright rights to AI Impacts are waived, in the sense that we don’t have them.
