The toxicity (we know best) was there from the start when they refused to let you create a local account and forced OpenID.
I tried adding an explicit dual license to the code in my answers; but moderators would any answer that tried to do that.
Not so much that I care about the copyright of my code; but more a question of whether I would find a lawsuit from SO on my doorstep because I had neglected to credit SO for three lines of code that somebody ELSE had contributed to SO. A very real problem, given that SO management after the takeover had shown itself to be not really trustable.
