On a site like stackoverflow, all questions and answers are licensed under Creative Commons and can be copied at will (when properly attributed). So, what is the license of comments here?
Nope, you're thinking of trademarks. Your copyright exists at the exact moment you create a copyrighted work, and you needn't do anything else to retain that right [1].
Presumably each comment is copyrighted by its individual author and all rights are reserved unless they tell you differently. Sites like SO that explicitly require comments to be licensed CC are the exception.
Hi, I am one of those who use; parts of sentences, sentences, topics thoughts, of HN comments/commenters, from the web generaly, but i never asked.
Often it's the provoking, or funy, or.... -stuff, i use. Everytime i finished something "postable" i share it with a cc-nc-share alike-licence, which i think is in the motto of educate, enlightenment, and "share". i hope that i did nothing wrong or intolerable...
