Have you heard the joke about the SEO manager who walks into a bar pub saloon watering hole place to meet friends great cocktails beer on tap?
I feel like intent should matter? And authority? You can't just leak information and say it's licensed now. The person who published it both didn't intend to do it and didn't have authority to release it.
I mean, that makes sense, but consider the other side. You find some document that very clearly says that you have a license to do whatever the hell you want with it.
In this particular case, you probably heard the news, but in many other cases, you just couldn't trust any license anymore, because there's just no way to know whether something was intended to be licensed like that. It would pretty much defeat the purpose of licensing anything at all.
I also feel like it shouldn't be the only thing yhsy matters.
You can't license something openly and later say "oh we didn't intend to do that. Sorry we take it back"
Another nice one
