The Creative Commons license disagrees with your characterization. Plus Jeff founded Stack Overflow, so it's odd to single him out if republishing works legally is stealing.

Exactly. Atwood's post says "Unfortunately, we don't have a good designated place for deleted "too fun" questions to live, but all Stack Exchange content is licensed under Creative Commons in perpetuity. Which means, with proper attribution, we can give it a permanent home on our own blogs.

And he does link each term to the StackOverflow user who posted it.

By "stealing" I refer to the removal of the original content from the main site, not to the copy itself.
