Suppose we see an answer with a code snippet like this:
// Copyright (c) 2017, <some guy's name and email>
//
// Permission to use, copy, modify, and/or distribute this software for any
// purpose with or without fee is hereby granted, provided that the above
// copyright notice and this permission notice appear in all copies.
//
// THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND THE AUTHOR DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES
// WITH REGARD TO THIS SOFTWARE INCLUDING ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
// MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHOR BE LIABLE FOR
// ANY SPECIAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES
// WHATSOEVER RESULTING FROM LOSS OF USE, DATA OR PROFITS, WHETHER IN AN
// ACTION OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER TORTIOUS ACTION, ARISING OUT OF
// OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THIS SOFTWARE.
// <code...>
// <code...>
// <more code...>
Is this allowed (or if yes - is it a proper practice?) in code snippets on Stack Exchange sites? Or we should require authors to remove this stuff from answers?
ADDITIONAL QUESTION: Essentially all comments to this question say that the license above is more permissive than the SO license.
Please explain, why?
For instance, the above license requires to include the copyright/permissive note and the name of author to all copies of my code.
UPDATE 1 (answering to Servy's comment): The copyright notice shows the person that posted the content.
