I don't know if this is really done by Stack Exchange. If you look at the user 'Stack Exchange' it has an arstechnica e-mail associated with it.

  It's a possibility. But it's being done under their name - that's almost the same thing in practice. And I would hope it's not an unapproved use of their name, so they're implicitly approving of what is done with it. edit: unless you meant something like them having a SE 'user' to categorize posts? I think all Q&As are under CC, so they're legally capable of doing that, but it certainly looks to me like it's SE doing the posting, since that's how they display authors too. I think the spreading of good SE Q&As is great. There are problems with it that essentially can't be resolved (stale data), but it does spread good information to people who may not have seen it otherwise. But this is sheer laziness, and ends up with something significantly less valuable than if they had just embedded the question in an iframe.

    Every couple weeks, Stack Exchange chops up some of our best Programmers content and sends it to one of our favorite websites: Ars Technica. source: http://meta.photo.stackexchange.com/questions/2195/ars-techn.. http://meta.photo.stackexchange.com/questions/2195/ars-techn.... (I couldn't find an official post specifically about their arrangement.)

      Eh, that's legitimate enough for me, barring evidence to the contrary. Thanks for finding it!
