In regards to scraping SO answers, I don't see the problem. In a classic search engine, the title of the page is listed, with an excerpt of the text on the page immediately below it.
In DDG, IIRC, the SO instant answers display the exact same information, but just format it better. Same with the wikibooks answers (those are the only instant answers I can remember triggering recently). What's wrong with that?

I just had a look to see how it's done and submitted a pull request to update the git cheatsheet - that's a JSON file, and you add a link to the source. Have a look at the pull request here: https://github.com/duckduckgo/zeroclickinfo-goodies/pull/2969 https://github.com/duckduckgo/zeroclickinfo-goodies/pull/296...
