Can someone provide clarity on data ownership ? Can we make it so the data can’t be sold, monetized or used in any detrimental way towards society via an ELA?

    Your example works because Getty as the copyright holder will actively pursue violations.

    The instance admin has no intrinsic motivation of doing so, and certainly won’t go to court on behalf of a user.

    You’d be better off to finish every one of your comments with “licensed under MIT v3.0” or something.

    And forcing admins to agree to terms with others before federating will lead to no federation. If I’m running an instance with no financial incentive whatsoever for the benefit of the public, the last thing I want is to get wrapped up in legal red tape. And as a layman, I couldn’t possibly understood all terms with their implications and ramifications, and would require legal council to proceed. That ain’t free either.
