     Nasty scenario: Get someone to use copyrighted code, and then sue
them for it.  Using a computing technique (modularisation), the poster and the 
suer may be different individuals.

     Copyrighted code posted here is still copyrighted.

     Well, yes.

     OTOH, if the code is short, I think that that would weaken any
argument.  Most anything posted here (attachments excepted) would be short.

Strange things has happened before.

Obviously code posted here is copyrighted.

The question is whether posting to usenet implicit provides a "permissible 
license".

Web fora where users has to register can require an explicit accept.

SO:

You agree that all Subscriber Content that You contribute to the Network is 
perpetually and irrevocably licensed to Stack Exchange under the Creative 
Commons Attribution Share Alike license. You grant Stack Exchange the perpetual 
and irrevocable right and license to use, copy, cache, publish, display, 
distribute, modify, create derivative works and store such Subscriber Content 
and to allow others to do so in any medium now known or hereinafter developed 
(rContent License%) in order to provide the Services, even if such Subscriber 
Content has been contributed and subsequently removed by You.

E-E:

By registering with Experts Exchange and posting Your Content on the Site, you 
hereby: (i) grant Experts Exchange a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, 
unrestricted, transferable, fully sub-licensable, worldwide, royalty-free 
license to use, distribute, display, reproduce, perform, modify, adapt, 
publish, translate and create derivative works from Your Content in any form, 
media or technology, whether now-known or hereafter developed;

I would argue that usenet posts via tradition, logic and similarity comes with 
an implicit license for free usage by anyone.

     If I post code that I do not have the copyright for, I can not
give that right.  I can agree with it all I want, but that is not the same 
thing.

That's not the point. The point is that if you contribute code under that 
agreement, and you do not hold copyright, *you* are liable for the 
infringement, not the site.

     So?  The site is not going to get the right.

     This could lead to trouble if a programmer posts part of an
employer's app, say a useful function.

Trouble for whom?

That's the point.

The site's rules mean they aren't the ones who get in trouble.

It isn't about whether the site gets the right, it's about whether they get the 
liability.

That explains why they make that rule. What more are you looking for?

The general practice in most countries for user provided content is that:
- if the site removes illegal content when being notified about
   the problem then they are fine
- if the site does not do that then the courts go after the site

Sure.

And if you buy a car from someone that does not own that car, then you can also 
get in problems.

That is obvious.

But it is no different from any other context.

You can not give away something you don't own.

If I'm not mistaken, those sorts of licenses are merely to permit sites that 
retain user submissions to store that content and resend it others in some form 
(usually forums) without infringing on copyright. It doesn't automatically 
allow other users to use that content as it's the site that is granted the 
license--the work isn't placed into the Public Domain.

Of course, these licenses do mean that such websites could, in principle, take 
someones hard work and use it themselves even though the original creator 
retains ownership.

I would argue that the "to allow others" phrase in the Stack Exchange terms is 
intended to refer only to third-parties that work with them to provide or 
develop its services rather than others generally, but it's ill-defined here 
and could extend to anyone SE deems applicable.

Kind regards,
Mike

The Creative Commons License explicitly allows that, yes.

You'd be mistaken.

Stack Exchange explicitly specifies the Creative Commons Attribution Share 
Alike license.

That's not ill defined and extends to everyone irrespective of whom SE deems 
applicable. It explicitly allows everyone access, not just SE. If they hadn't 
intended that, they wouldn't have specified a license that explicitly exists 
for the very purpose of extending universal access.
