What content license do you use on your blog?


Do you use any type of CC or other content license for your blog?

Does it even matter if such a license exists on your content or not?

Most technical user blogs on HN don't seem to have any type of licensing from personal observation.

Curious to know what the HN crowd thinks about content licensing.

I use CC BY-SA 4.0 for the content of the blog, and MIT for the code for the static site generator I wrote to generate the blog.

It's a very young and tiny blog- I don't really have many (any?) readers right now, and I don't make money from it or anything. But I feel like having a license very clearly defines what people can or can't do with what I write. I don't necessarily care about it right now but I'd like to be covered if I do in the future.
