license of Zulip post

Stream: general

[Asei Inoue]

I am writing a book and would like to quote a post from Zulip in it.
I would like to confirm what kind of license applies to posts on Zulip.
If anyone knows, I would appreciate it if you could let me know.

[Tom de Jong]

I think you should contact the author of the post and ask for their permission. (Even if there's no legal requirement, it seems like the right thing to do to me.)

[Markus Himmel]

The relevant section of the Zulip terms of service is this: https://zulip.com/policies/terms#licenses I am not a lawyer, but my reading of this is that you're not allowed to do anything with Zulip posts by other people except look at them using the Zulip app; for everything else you have to get permission from the author.

Thank you!

Presumably this applies to AI model trainers scraping this Zulip as well.

Note that on the topic of scraping for training, I have asked the maintaining team in #general > Discussion on Community Policies @ 💬 to release a clear statement about this.
