Found information about CC-by-SA.
May 6, 2012 at 3:03 comment added Thomas Shields @waiwai933 oooh, okay. Didn'tk now about the "non-exclusive" part.
May 6, 2012 at 2:57 comment added waiwai933 @ThomasShields No, Bobince was the original creator, and the CC-BY-SA is a non-exclusive license, so Bobince is free to do with it whatever he wants, including profiting from it.
May 6, 2012 at 2:43 comment added Thomas Shields @JeffMercado that's the trick, isn't it? Technically his answer (even if he holds copyright) is licensed by StackExchange, and he agreed to that by accepting terms and conditions, so technically even he can't sell it unless he works a deal with Stack Exchange.
May 6, 2012 at 2:42 comment added Makoto @JeffMercado: Yeah, that's the question. I'm no lawyer, but I would figure that, if he wanted to make his own, there probably wouldn't be an issue. I would presume that anyone would be able to, if it were their own comment. The main catch is that you probably couldn't sell it. I'd rather hear an official answer in terms of clothing creation. I'll look around and see what I could find.
May 6, 2012 at 2:39 comment added Jeff Mercado Would that still hold if Bobince wanted to make his own t-shirt line from that answer? Does he have ownership of it? Would anyone be able to if they were the author?

May 6, 2012 at 2:33 comment added Thomas Shields I think this is the closest you'll get. It's not for sale, though, hence my creation of a lesser (yet hopefully still funny) one.
May 6, 2012 at 2:31 comment added Makoto @ThomasShields: Yeah, I agree. I'd really like to see something [as funny as the post] make it onto a T-shirt.
May 6, 2012 at 2:30 comment added Thomas Shields yeah, that's what I was thinking. It'd be nice to hear from a company representative though.
