Read the contracts. Carefully.

May I use your example if I give a talk at some point trying to impress upon the audience why they should actually read agreements before they sign them?

It's already out there. You don't need to ask.

  • It’s considerate, polite, to ask instead of assuming the author would be ok with that

    • I find it weird, not polite, personally. Polite would be to not bother them and just use it anyway without drawing their attention to yourself unnecessarily.

      Different norms, perhaps.

    • The author has published on the topic and engaged in conversations on HN about the topic.

      They're clearly ok with the topic being discussed and shared.
