I recently approved an edit on this question that removed a dead link from a deleted Stack Overflow article. A search for the question yielded this though...an external page that scraped the content before the post was deleted.

I don't see anything TOO nefarious about the site, but that was one of my first actions with moderator tools so I didn't want to override the edit with a link to that page if that's something that the SE overlords don't like.

Any thoughts on this?

All Stack Exchange content is available under our Creative Commons license except they must include attribution.

You are free:

  • to Share— to copy, distribute and transmit the work
  • to Remix — to adapt the work

Under the following conditions:

Attribution — You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor(but not in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work).

Share Alike — If you alter, transform, or build upon this work, you may distribute the resulting work only under the same or similar license to this one.

You can see a more detailed guide at the blog post.

In this case, it looks like it should be okay, but I will run it past our internal person who checks for compliance. But, in general, I've linked to caches and Stack Printer when a user didn't have enough reputation to see deleted questions on their site.

Basically: "mirrors" are tolerated until we learn they aren't attributing correctly. Then we send them a notice.
