Did their lawyers really advice them to put it there believing it works?

I wasn’t in the room with them, but IMO it would be malpractice of the lawyers if they didn’t, so I’m going to assume yes, they did.

It definitely empowers them to go after anyone who uses their content outside of the license.

And it doesn’t hurt to have it there. There’s nothing wrong with protecting your rights, ever.

Finally, let’s not derail the OP post any more than already has been done. If you wish to continue the discussion, it should be done over here…
