Whoa, did they just lift content directly off Stack?

I guess it's appropriate for an article on laziness.

No; they have an agreement with StackExchange to allow for republishing of the content (check the byline).

Actually I think it has more to do with content on Stack sites being freely available under a creative commons license.

That would be an agreement to allow for republishing, albeit one offered to anyone under the same terms.
