Wow, this one is the first I've seen to almost comply with our attribution terms which are linked at the bottom of every single web page we serve up.

Except.. it kind of runs afoul of this:

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.

I don't see any text blurb indicating it's from SO on that page anywhere.

So it's not in compliance and it stays on the list.

Update: we got an email about this, and it appears to be in compliance now:

Stackoverflow team-

I am the programmer for tech.e freedom.com and I found some concerns about our attribution on meta.stackoverflow.com here: Did anyone notice that some sites seem to be scraping/republishing SO's posts?

We apologize for the problem, we thought we were meeting the terms, but apparently we fell short. It was not our intent to present this content as our own.

We have updated our content and would ask that you review it and please let us know if it is satisfactory. If it is, please update your forums and let everyone know that we are in full compliance. We have added attribution by our logo and at the bottom of every answer.

Here is a sample link: http://tech.e freedom.com/Question/1-147929/C%23-Sending-messages-to-Google-Chrome-from-C%23-application.

Thank you,

Very nice of them to follow up, and correct the problem! It does look correct now to me.)
