    Genuine question, do instances not have a GPL license on their content? With that license, anyone can use all the data but only for open source software.

      Instances don’t actually own the copyright to comments. The poster owns the copyright and licenses it to the instance. Which lets the instance use it, but not sublicense to others.

      I don’t think you can use gpl for anything but code. Creative commons license would be more appropriate.
