It would violate the license if Stack Exchange tried to prohibit people from reusing content in general, but prohibiting reuse on their own (privately-owned) site wouldn't violate the license. The restriction they're imposing wouldn't be on use of their content so much as on the use of their site. | |

| Nov 14, 2011 at 14:40 | comment | added | casperOne | @Asylum: Didn't think about the CC license. I was wondering more about the etiquette aspect, but if the community see's the CC license as the guiding factor on this matter, then so be it. Thanks! | |

| Nov 14, 2011 at 14:38 | comment | added | Adam Lear StaffMod | CC-BY-SA requires attribution. I'd say it's not moot regardless of whether the answers are both on the same page or not. If the original is ever removed for whatever reason, the original content is still not the work of the second author and should be attributed properly. | |
