they certainly havr given that license

otherwise my browser could not make reproductions and store caches

they have granted a licence to HN (and YC-affiliated companies), not anyone else. It's that licence that permits HN, and HN only, to send users' content to your browser

  • So if someone uses a VPN to access Hacker News, the VPN is infringing copyright?

    • Transient copies of user data, in traffic, memory or caches, are protected by the copyright law, so there is no infringing.
