I support you in wanting to post whatever text you want that isn't hurting other people. I do not believe your footer text is hurting other people, so you should be able to post it.
However, I find it very annoying to read through comments and continuously have to re-read your footer because I believe it is text you are intending for your audience to read on the topic on the thread. This is my problem though, not yours.
So my solution is to block just your footer text from rendering in my browser. Using uBlock Origin I've added the following filter to my browser:
This completely removes your footer from all of your posts across the entirety of Lemmy.world while leaving the rest of your posts intact.
I believe you would support this action because you've communicated its for consumption by corporations and AI and not other readers of Lemmy. This may also be helpful to you, because you can refer other people like me that hate looking at your footer all the time. You get to keep your footer, and we don't have to ever see it again. Have a great day!
This is not true.
The license declaration is supposed to be communicating to all readers, as it lets others know that my content is licensed for free use for open source purposes.
It's not just to prevent for-profit usage, it's also to notify that it's available for non-profit usage.
Also, generally speaking, there may be legal issues with stripping a license declaration from content.

Well I've read it once, and thats all I'll ever need to. Message received! Now we both get what we want. I don't need to read it ever again, and you can keep posting it, I'll just never see it.
I'm not stripping it. Its still there. I'm just not rendering it to make it visible on my screen.
I'm not advocating that you shouldn't do what you want with your own ublock origin settings.
Aka, you do you.
Thanks! I'm saying the same to you, and offering you something to point to for others that get on your case about your footer.
I bookmarked your comment, to refer others to it when they're getting pissed off at me.
I don't know if it'd be easier than just telling them to block me, but at least now they'll have a choice.
