There shouldn't be an issue with them already being in use. The CC family of licenses attach to your copyrighted work. You have a bunch of rights associated with it as the creator and thus copyright holder. The CC license is a way of saying "in addition to what you are allowed to do according to copyright law, you may also do X, Y, and Z with it so long as you obey certain rules".
Debatably, any servers already using your creation without permission are violating your copyright and you could act to try to force them to take it down. The CC licenses are kinda like a binding promise that you won't do that. So there shouldn't be an issue there.
As for how licenses combine... I'm out of my depth. I think you are allowed to use design elements (or even actual assets) from Apache licensed stuff in Creative Commons stuff because the Apache License gives permission to do all sorts of stuff. But I'm not a lawyer, this isn't legal advice. Maybe a #copyleft person can answer your question?
Just had a #DogWalkFlashBack to '94, the week I first arrived in Aotearoa. I installed Linux for the first time, on my desktop computer (486 dx2 66MHz, 32MB RAM, monitor was 800x600 pixels, common at the time). I remember the giddy feeling of realising that I had actual real multi-tasking, and I could log into my system from outside the Lincoln Uni campus. Plus I could log into my old account at UW (Seattle) & from it back into my desktop. Heady days. People came from all over campus to see it.
30 years later, I still feel fortunate every day to have this embarrassment of riches that is #libre | #FOSS | #openSource (I vastly prefer #Copyleft) software, & that I've been been able make it a viable, even prosperous careers. Because I know that if I can do it, others can too! More details: https://davelane.nz/my-open-history
I feel disgusting saying this, but until #CreativeCommons gets their heads out of their asses or the "AI" bubble finally bursts, ALL of my #art assets, visual, audio or otherwise, will have to be copyrighted with all rights reserved. As far as I can tell, GPL and its derivatives are strictly designed for code, as well as the BSD, MIT and all other #OpenSource or #copyleft licenses. If I'm wrong, I will consider those.
#Commons#AI#GenerativeAI#Chatbots#Copyleft#Google#Search: "Ostrom described how commons can be wisely managed, over very long timescales, by communities that self-governed. Part of her work concerns how users of a commons must have the ability to exclude bad actors from their shared resources.
When that breaks down, commons can fail – because there's always someone who thinks it's fine to shit in the well rather than walk 100 yards to the outhouse.
Enshittification is the process by which control over the internet moved from self-governance by members of the commons to acts of wanton destruction committed by despicable, greedy assholes who shit in the well over and over again.
It's not just the spammers who take advantage of Google's lazy incompetence, either. Take "copyleft trolls," who post images using outdated Creative Commons licenses that allow them to terminate the CC license if a user makes minor errors in attributing the images they use:" https://pluralistic.net/2024/05/09/shitting-in-the-well/#advon
Ne du, so was wie #DuckDuckGo, #StartPage & #Ecosia liefern Daten ihrer Crawler wie #Bing (M$) und/oder #Google. Pseudonymisiert ist nicht anonym, denn die sind vertraglich dazu verpflichtet.
🧵 …von den oben in der Toot-Reihe erwähnten Suchmaschinen, nutze ich momentan #SearXNG und #Stract neben @Mojeek noch #Openverse für freie #Copyleft & Co. #Bild'er, #Grafik'en und #Foto's ua bei der Webseit-Gestaltung und der gleichen.
