I'm not a lawyer, but I see claims restricting users to "personal use".
I guess one would have to clarify what is and isn't possible with the
data. I'm guessing they are trying to scare people/entities away from
trawling SO and repackaging it into another inko/knowledgebase
offering.
But that is exactly the capability I was asking for, and it's a
capability which the mailing list currently has. (E.g. nabble
repackages the list, and there are lots of sites that archive it.)
That having been said, there is a SO clone that was developed by the
folks at biostars.org which is an OSS StackOverflow "clone"
https://github.com/ialbert/biostar-central
Someone would just need to host it, though.
Given SO's critical mass, though, I think it's hard to argue against
simply using that.
Not for me.
