I’m actually okay with this. StackOverflow will likely make the documentation CC BY-SA, which means high-quality crowdsourced Free Culture documentation. It’s a bit sad the platform is proprietary, but at least we could copy it to a Free platform if we so desire. Unfortunately, the code samples will be useless because they will be under CC BY-SA too, which is GPL-incompatible :(

Documentation is licensed under the same terms as Q&A, allowing for widespread reuse.

which says:

You agree that all Subscriber Content that You contribute to the Network is perpetually and irrevocably licensed to Stack Exchange under the Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike license.

code should be MIT instead, from here

Starting Feb 1, 2016, all new code contributions to Stack Overflow and Stack Exchange will be covered by the MIT License.

Oh, sweet, I missed that part!
