Because it's original work they contributed for free. Lending others that kind of expertise and time, just that it get's used by a machine learning algorithm, which aims to reproduce this, without giving it back to them or the community in a similar free manner, feels violating.
Apart from that, creators feel ownership over their content and it feels wrong not to be asked what happens to it. (Although those probably wouldn't – or shouldn't – use SO anyway, as their content gets commercialised anyway by giving it SO for free.)
Aaaaah okay that is somehting I can understand, thank you!
I get the feelings, but once they added the content in SO, it was no longer their content.
all posts were supposedly licensed under creative commons
Do they have the non-commercial/no-derivative clause?
