Do the terms of the license allow for this kind of abuse? Just because something is CC doesn't mean you can do whatever you want with it.

Do the terms of the license allow for this kind of abuse?
Just because something is CC doesn't mean you can do whatever you want with it.
- dangrossman 13y agoYes, they do; it's not abuse when you're given explicit permission. CC BY-SA means you can do whatever you want with it as long as you attribute the source as specified.
- leephillips 13y ago"as long as you attribute the source" danielbarla said that they presented the material under a false name; this goes beyond copying and becomes plagiarism, which I can't imagine is an intended result of the CC license.
- aroch 13y agoIs the source 'User X' or 'StackOverflow'? When you reference CC BY-SA code you don't reference the people who, say, checked it into git but rather the whole repo.
- Flimm 13y agoCC BY-SA is short for Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike. BY means you must attribute, and SA means you must license any distributed derivative works under the same license (copyleft). Attribution on its own is not enough.
- grey-area 13y agoNo, attribution is required.
