While we're discussing Stack Overflow's legal situation:

- Users have raised $9000 to defend a volunteer moderator from defamation by Stack Overflow employees: https://www.gofundme.com/f/stop-stack-overflow-from-defaming...

- Stack Overflow illegally changed the content license without permission from authors (Creative Commons allows such license changes for adaptations but not collections such as Stack Exchange) and refuse to clarify their legal justification (do they feel they have the right to change to any license they choose?): https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/333089/stack-exchan...

- Their general counsel appears to have left the company a little before all of this happened: https://chat.meta.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/80154...
