Yes of course. Did you ever read the service agreement with SO?

SO is not GitHub. GitHub has high motivation to protect your (c) for you, SO has not. Never has.

I don't understand this new point at all. Both SO and GitHub want people to keep putting their content in there, because it's the entire value proposition of their sites. Both SO and GitHub have specific licenses for content. Where do you see this difference?

GitHub already sells Copilot, trained on copyrighted user data. Where do you observe this "motivation"?
