I do not think this answers the question(s) I asked. Unless I am being very
dense. Plus, I do not want to go through the motions of signing up and giving
my data if it not going to work for me so I would like to determine this info
somehow prior to that point/process.
Again:
Is cc BYthe only license options for the posts? Or cna individual posts be
licensed differently? Can a user set a different default for all of his
posts? If so, does the app make this clear on the posts somehow?
all the best,
drew
