the so license is cc-by-sa and has been since the beginning, not cc-by-nc-sa

True.

Cc-by-sa has had a few revisions.

Attribution would be lost in an llm, no?

Your answers are already sold for profit again and again. That's the whole point of SO existing, or maybe you under some delusion that SO is a charity?

No delusion.

Specific licensing and side deals is different to me at least than scraping.

Then you shouldn't have been posting on SO.

If you want to contribute to the commons, contribute to the commons. If you want to contribute to the commons without commercialization of your work, contribute with some non-com license [1]. If you want to feed a corporation with your labour, post on SO.

[1] It'll still be illegally scraped and commercialized by some AIBro, and you'll have no proof or recourse against them...

Scraping to me is different than side licensing the content in some other form or usage than what it was created for.

Licensing also means the writer retains the ownership.

Cc-by-sa has had a few revisions too.
