| Feb 25, 2012 at 19:09 | comment | added | Mad Scientist | @NeilFein Subsequent publication issues depend entirely on the requirements of your publisher. If they require you to have never licensed the content to anyone else before, you have a problem. But that is really far outside the influence of SE. I know that there are scientific journals that take it very badly if you publish your results before your paper is published in their journal, but that is really something up to them, SE can't know of all the possible consequences publishing under a CC license can have. | |

| Feb 25, 2012 at 19:05 | comment | added | Pekka | @Neil I guess Stack Exchange can't be clearer about this because they themselves don't know more than us - the legal consequences of publishing something under CC may even vary depending on where the writer is based. This might be something to ask an agent or even a publisher maybe? | |
| Feb 25, 2012 at 19:05 | comment | added | Goodbye Stack Exchange | Allow me to rephrase: From a content creator's point of view, subsequent publication issue can be unclear. | |
| Feb 25, 2012 at 19:04 | comment | added | Mad Scientist | @NeilFein I don't think SE is being unclear here, by posting on SE sites you're licensing your content under the CC license, period. I'm confident in that part, but I don't know enough to tell you all the possible consequences of that. There might even be jurisdictions where the CC license is not valid, it gets extremely complicated very quickly in that area. | |
| Feb 25, 2012 at 19:00 | comment | added | Goodbye Stack Exchange | Clearly. But if Stack Exchange is being unclear about this, it will prevent professional writers and creators from posting excerpt here, including myself. | |
