For those unaware, YaCy is an open source indexing software with some p2p search capabilities. However, if you’ve run it yourself, you’d know that the search results are very bad. Therefore I am wondering if this is a resources issue or a YaCy software issue, or both.

Had YaCy had really huge resources for the crawling and indexing, would it have been a good enough search engine to replace google/ddg?

    I don’t think a license will prevent language models from using your post. If anything, you are allowing people to use your post for more stuff it couldn’t otherwise be used, since a license is you giving someone permission to use your work in a certain way, but if you don’t give a license, copyright law assumes that you haven’t given permission.
