No.
Just because I can publically access
http://perlmonks.net/index.pl?node=Tutorials
does not mean I can repost the contents without permission.
Same goes for forums. Since perlmonks does not explicitly require you transfer copyright, the poster retains it. | [reply] [Watch: Dir/Any] |
ok, cool. In this example tutorials is considered a part of the "infrastructure" of the site, but in a public forum, where things are publically posted, i figured the post would revert to the public domain.
Update: I posted a little too quick, and had a look at dictionary.com. My understanding is the owner retains copyright on his/her work(s) unless explicitly stated otherwise. So, unless there is some kind of disclaimer with the work, its all copyrighted.
