The discussion revolves around whether the Katalon Community can copy and post the Discourse New User Guide from meta.discourse.org on their own site. sleslie99 asks for permission to copy the guide, adding a disclaimer and link to Discourse. Moin points out that the original topic allows copying, referencing a quote that provides instructions. RGJ raises legal concerns, questioning if redistribution is allowed under the terms of service, noting the absence of explicit licensing on meta.discourse.org. JimPas refers to the Creative Commons license from the Discourse blog, suggesting it applies, though RGJ clarifies this doesn’t cover meta. Moin reiterates that the topic’s instructions imply permission. JammyDodger supports the idea, acknowledging the need for clearer guidelines to address legal concerns from internal departments.

Exactly, many forum owners have to deal with an internal legal department that would frown upon this, if the forum admins cannot prove that this is explicitly allowed.
I think
