I forget that everything I copy from SO, and everything I post there, is under a CC BY-SA license. That SA is "share-alike" and I don't think people really understand what that means. From Wikipedia's article on it:

"These licences have been described pejoratively as viral licences, because the inclusion of copyleft material in a larger work typically requires the entire work to be made copyleft."

Now how much code uses something copied from SO? And I wonder how copyright even applies to "code snippets"?
