Burkov on Authors Who Don't Know They Own Their Own arXiv Paper Copyright
burkov · x · 2026-10-23
ML author Andriy Burkov shares a baffling exchange: he asked a paper's author for permission to host a copy on ChapterPal, but the author insisted he "ask arXiv" — despite holding the copyright themselves. After Burkov explained how copyright works, the author stopped replying. A funny look at how little some researchers understand their own publishing rights.
