Really interesting setup they have there, I had no idea. Seemingly Stack Exchange runs the actual infrastructure and provides compute/storage, but all the rest is operated by a separate 501(c)(3) nonprofit which at any time can pack up their stuff and migrate:
> Subject to Section 8, should MathOverflow wish to migrate its data outside of the Stack Exchange network, Stack Exchange shall, within thirty (30) days of receipt of a written request from MathOverflow, provide MathOverflow with a complete and current database that contains all the data necessary to recreate MathOverflow on MathOverflow's own servers and software. Following such transfer, Stack Exchange will cease all use of the MathOverflow database.
