As an aside, I have never seen a decent license for user generated content. Either they expose the platform to serious liability, or they come across as incredibly predatory.

That's not needed though. No licensing is required.

Code is copyright without any licensing. The hardware is not licensed, I don't sign a license or agree to one when buying a car or microwave.

You can find edge cases, but the point is no licensing is actually required.

What do you feel is a good approach to licensing user generated content?
