Yes, absolutely.
As someone who has contributed a fair amount of content to SO, I would wholeheartedly support modifying the CC license on the content I've contributed. I much prefer the idea of that to the idea of allowing my answers to help build dens 'o spam like eFreedom.
Now that I think of it, my answers going straight-to-spam is a nontrivial detriment to my contributing content to SO.

Glad to see I'm not the only one.
But I really posted this comment in reply to say thanks for the blog posts on jquery/asp.net. They really got me going in the right direction - fantastic stuff.
That would be the fastest way in my book. I've never worked out why SO allows it in the first place. Is it just to appear open and web 2.0-y, or is there a business reason. It's a proper business now, users are loyal, cancel the licence. I can't think of a single person who would say 'oh, but I much preferred to read those spam sites'.
