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

    It doesn’t work.

    By default you have complete ownership of all works you create. What that license link is doing is granting an additional license to the comment. (In this case likely the only available license.)

    This means that people can choose to use the terms in this license rather than their “default” rights to the work (such as fair use which is which most AI companies are claiming). It can’t take away any of their default privileges.
