  non-exclusive

  That means we can license all our content to another company, and Reddit would be forced to allow them to fetch it, as we still own it, right?

    It certainly reads that way. Gonna start a Reddit User Collective?

      That would be legally possible, though, obviously, you would have to pay for your own servers.

      In practice, it wouldn’t be worth anyone’s time.

        I don’t see why. Users own the content wherever it’s located. Reddit, of course, would be free to remove that content, but that would be cutting off their own nose to spite their face and is also acceptable.

    Non-exclusive just means you’re free to give a copy of your content to whoever you want. It doesn’t mean Reddit is obligated to distribute it for you.

    No. Just because you own a copyright, doesn’t mean that you are entitled to free network services. If you owned the copyright to a movie, would you expect free tickets for any cinema showing it?
