… to use and reproduce content?

Hey guys,

I’ve done a search, read the agreement and read the [CC FAQ here](https://creativecommons.org/faq/#what-should-i-think-about-before-using-material-offered-under-a-creative-commons-license) but forgive me for wishing to check my understanding especially in the context of running a Discourse forum.

If for example a third party wishes to write a book, paper or make a film based on forum content:  
(my belief under the default licence the answers are below)

- do they have the right to do that without asking anyone?
  - YES?

- do they need to have the site owners permission?
  - NO?

- do they need to ask each individual poster for permission to use their specific content?
  - NO?

- And in doing so do they have to maintain the same licence so that their work can also be shared or mashed?
  - YES?

- Can they sell and profit from that work?
  - YES?

Thoughts?

Can you remind me which one Discourse defaults to? There’s no less than 30 variations of CC.

Either way, I found [TL;DR Legal](https://tldrlegal.com) super useful when I was trying to sort out the licensing. Doubly so because our forum is specifically for sharing custom code/scripts!
