I agree that they probably don't comply to the license by not linking to the license itself, however, I doubt anyone will take them to court for this.
Also, this could be seen as quoting and is in some jurisdictions allowed (with due restrictions). So maybe they don't care about license... Aren't they doing the same for ages, when they show relevant portion of the page with the keywords?
- kaoD 12y ago> I doubt anyone will take them to court for this. Probably not worth the hassle for SO, but it's a matter of courtesy. "Since you're so kind to add metadata and have a permissive license, I'll respect your license so you keep attaching metadata to your content." Everyone wins. > Aren't they doing the same for ages, when they show relevant portion of the page with the keywords? Good point there. I'm not knowledgeable enough on what exactly constitutes fair use for search engines. Is remixing the content actually a snippet, or is it a derived work? I'll research it ASAP, out of curiosity.
