    A promise is non-binding and depends on how much faith you have in the other side. Some users still might have enough faith in the SO brand to believe them if they promise to not to something, whatever they will really do. Commented May 10, 2024 at 7:50
  • @NoDataDumpNoContribution So for all we know, the promise of attribution is just an empty promise in an attempt to make us 'feel better' or something.

    Yes, it's a half-truth at most. They probably care about attribution but only for those occasions where someone does it to whom they did not sell the content and tell us everything they believe we want to hear. They conveniently forget to mention aspects that could be seen critical by us. I mean that's how almost everyone does it (adapt the message to the audience). Do you believe people always tell you the truth when it's about business? Commented May 10, 2024 at 19:28
