- tkahn6 14y agoNot only that, they host dumps of all the questions and answers.
- pjbrunet 14y agoThey're not bound to that license. Are you a lawyer? It's just another content farm looking for unpaid labor.
- jsmeaton 14y agoWow you're really quite negative regarding Stack Overflow. Is there a reason? Many many many people find it an excellent resource for their problems, and others find it a great place to sharpen their tools. Do you have the same attitude towards wikipedia?
- pjbrunet 14y agoI agree it's an excellent resource. I have several profiles there http://stackoverflow.com/users/722796/pj-brunet http://stackoverflow.com/users/722796/pj-brunet Because it's an excellent resource, it could be monetized with a paywall. We can't predict the future but we can learn from the past. They're already monetizing it with http://careers.stackoverflow.com/employer http://careers.stackoverflow.com/employer They don't really have much competition but I think http://snipt.net/ http://snipt.net/ is a good alternative in certain situations.
