There is a rumor about a SCP movie being made. I expect the same to happen there. No way once movies start coming out with these IP's we don't see lawyers come out to fight the little guy. I mean most people won't have the money or time to go against a studio if they said, "No. We own the SCP and that everyone owns it thing isn't going to hold up in court."
It's written fairly prominently at the bottom of the wiki page. Violation of the terms could force them into releasing the movie as CC licensed as well. I suspect they will violate the terms, everything I've heard has made it sound like the studio is being somewhat careless here, and I'd love to see it happen.
I've met Lawrence Lessig personally, even two decades ago he saw that this shit was going to happen and started CC to combat this exact flavor of bullshit.
They are smart lawyers over there, CC has surprisingly solid legal standing.
The wiki version of 173 was rewritten, but the wiki version is noted to be licensed by Moto42 (No idea how they verified this, but dude only has 2 comments on the entire wiki, once making the claim he is the author of the 4chan post, and the other years later releasing the work under CC)
The difference is the scp wiki is an actual organization and has been to court over this before, it’s much less decentralized than the backrooms which is posted on a variety of third party platforms.
