Does nostr have any inherent intellectual property or licensing assumptions for the published content?

This has been discussed off nostr in context if GitCitadel since cryptographically signing stuff can and should put an end to nearly all IP BS.

I am exceedingly against all IP laws. They only help those who can afford lawyers.

But to your query, no. And I'm not sure their can be, though I can see some interesting possibilities for the future if nostr becomes ubiquitous enough that governments use it, in that if you want X protection or recognition of Y idea, you must publish something on Z relay.

I’m not exactly looking for an IP protection, but I think it ties into content publishing rails. I get that kind1s are exactly opposite to ‘other things’, in the sense that you can be paid here and almost nowhere else, just for saying something out loud. But content monetizing is so reliant on some central authority ’protecting your rights’ people don’t even see the water they are in and how there’s dry land here. There isn’t yet a nostr business model for authors, beyond v4v which is some nebulous thing that draws people into influencer mindset again.

That's not strictly true. Almost, but, there are things in the works for that.

When I first posted the question it seemed like nobody was thinking about it at all.
