And this is the beginning of the end of SE. They should never have gotten anywhere near involved in such a controversial topic. Especially, given their site is _international_ and I'm assuming a huge amount of their customer base is coming from conserved, third-world countries, who are simply not ready to change to make a first-world minority feel better of factually correct wording.

Save yourself the burden: $ echo "127.0.0.1 stackoverflow.com www.stackoverflow.com stackexchange.com www.stackexchange.com" >> /etc/hosts

I found SO useful, but it is copy-left

https://stackoverflow.com/help/licensing

So even GPL works need relicensing if they include anything from SO??

Ah, GPL is an exception; including something from SO makes your work:

Either GPL, or one of two licenses they consider equivalent

So let them speak, not you. Most people I've seen that are complaining about this are from western countries.
