Bare in mind that the content on the entire Stack Exchange network is licensed under the [Creative Commons Attribution - Share Alike][1] license, so others are allowed to copy and reuse the content as long as they attribute it to the source correctly. The team have previously [defined][2] exactly what they expect of someone reusing the data to do: > Let me clarify what we mean by attribution. If you republish this content, we require that you: > > 1. **Visually indicate that the content is from Stack Overflow, Meta Stack Overflow, Server Fault, or Super User in some way.** It doesn’t have to be obnoxious; a discreet text blurb is fine. > > 2. **Hyperlink directly to the original question** on the source site (e.g., http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12345) > > 3. **Show the author names** for every question and answer > > 4. **Hyperlink each author name** directly back to their user profile page on the source site (e.g., http://stackoverflow.com/users/12345/username) > By “directly”, I mean each hyperlink must point directly to our domain in standard HTML visible even with JavaScript disabled, and not use a tinyurl or any other form of obfuscation or redirection. Furthermore, the links must not be nofollowed. The page you've [referenced][3] appears to do **all four**, and I can't see any `nofollow` on the links, so *to me* this appears to be a valid reuse of the [source question][4]. ---- [Here][5] is the Meta Stack Overflow question that covers attribution issues (what I've said here mostly repeats that).
