Well StackExchange seems pretty poorly positioned then because their data is under the Creative Commons.

(Although notably, I only spend time writing answers on StackExchange because I feel like I'm contributing to an open corpus of knowledge; the license is a major part of that.)

(NAL) the license legally allows others to reproduce the data, so they can't be sued for copyright infringement. But it wouldn't stop SO from implementing rate limits, registration wall, or paywall. They didn't undertake on a mission to freely and openly spread your answers to as many people (or bots) as possible — they only promised not to sue for copyright.

It's all available for the taking: https://archive.org/details/stackexchange

They could stop updating this going forward, but the moat of content they've built from their launch until today is freely available.
