It's mostly interesting in the sense of, it becomes nearly impossible to do proper attribution, rather than the sense that anything criminal is happening. (not that you were trying to claim it was.) These partnerships effectively give these companies no reason to ever fully comply, even if they could; Why comply when they could simply stop paying when stack decides to put their foot down. Copilot is never going to start linking directly to SO when you directly ask it somethng it's obviously sourcing from SO if we're not using the SO plugin (that we mere mortals can't access anyway)

@KevinB Yeah, it's only money laundering if it's criminal (which I don't think we have rulings on yet: there definitely are copyright violations, but whether using CC BY-SA works like this is a copyright violation is unclear). And the Proceeds of Crime Act is limited to crimes happening within the UK, which disqualifies all the systems I know about. That last bit is trivia, nothing more.
