Follow up: it is not within my rights to remove my content, apparently. Upon submitting it conveniently becomes Creative Commons licensed. Huh.

@trisweb so any use by partners like openai makes all derivative works licensed under creative commons then? So they must provide attribution?
https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/
I'd like to see open ai in compliance then please.

@engarneering that’s a fantastic point.

Nice point. From their licensing (https://stackoverflow.com/legal/terms-of-service/public#licensing) they explicitly say

"Any other downloading, copying, or storing of any public Network Content (other than Subscriber Content or content made available via the Stack Overflow API) for other than personal, noncommercial use is expressly prohibited without prior written permission from Stack Overflow or from the copyright holder identified in the copyright notice per the Creative Commons License."

@engarneering oh this is just rich. What I assume is some random high level moderator on a power trip suggests that the CC license is only a suggestion and it would be infeasible to follow.

@trisweb so if all that material is CC licensed does that mean it would at least be legal to scrape the site and create an open source fork?

@mrcompletely @trisweb this. There exist non-commercial sites that have more or less duplicated the functionality of SO, but suffer from a lack of content and audience. They have discussed mass import of questions in the past, but (rightly) judged it to be a big job, given their meagre resources.

@trisweb it's so dumb, if they just left the objectors alone they would pull their content, but the impact would be tiny on their data set at large
