Yes. In a past life, after researching the situation, we had to find and remove all the code copied from Stack Overflow into our codebase. I can’t fathom why SO won’t fix the license.

What makes it even worse is if you try to do the right thing by crediting SO (the BY part) you’re putting a red flag in the code that you should have known you have to share your code (the SA part).

They tried to relicense code snippets to MIT a while back, it was a big mess.
