Masimo seems confident it can win its case against Apple.

• Medical device maker Masimo is confident it can win its legal battle against Apple over a feature on the Apple Watch, citing previous victories against True Wearables, a startup run by a former Apple executive.

• Masimo alleges that Apple couldn’t have developed certain watch technologies without the help of Marcelo Lamego, who previously worked at both Masimo and Apple.

• Masimo CEO Joe Kiani accuses Apple of a deliberate infringement of intellectual property, resulting in an import ban on certain Apple Watch models, which has been temporarily paused pending further review.

    If it’s a creative work then you get the Copyright on it, and can release it as you like. The work must meet a required level of creativity to qualify.

    If people want to try and license their posts, why would instance owner care?

      I’m not questioning that so much as… can’t instances force you to license your content to them in the same way Reddit does, potentially one that is incompatible with the NC and SA designations?

        I don’t recall agreeing to terms like that but at the end of the day they don’t have to host any posts. If I thought they banned posting works with our choice of license that would be a red flag for me.

        Sadly it seems licenses can be ignored when used for machine learning, it’s only if they end up reposting copyrighted material rather exactly.
