this link was pointed out on a question marked as a dupe of this one, so adding it here
- I haven't consulted with the rest of the team yet, so treat this as my personal opinion and not Codidact policy, please.
- Under the terms of the Creative Commons license used at SE (and here), quoting content from there is fine so long as you provide attribution and link. These questions do that (minimally). Further, these questions seem to be paraphrases rather than direct copies.
- Data import to Codidact is possible (as demonstrated in other communities), but also comes with challenges (as demonstrated in other communities, where Mathjax and Hebrew didn't come through unscathed). Also, data import can currently only be done by an admin with database access. We'd like to address the issues in the import process and make it self-serve, but we aren't there yet.
- Since the license supports re-asking questions (if done properly), I think it's ok to do so *responsibly*. It's important to make sure the question here contains all the necessary information, whether quoted or paraphrased. It needs to link to the original but should not require somebody to click through to read the original. I personally think it's better to paraphrase than directly copy, since it's going to appear over your name, not the author's name (and we can't easily change that).
