Codeberg was asking about this. The linked toot by a commenter points to :

They are minimal. They provide the data you probably care about and the data you need to comply with the original license in SQLite format.

Yes, but you mentioned importing old content is problematic, and I don't see why?

Because to import old content, you have to respect the old license (or get every contributor of back-then to relicense). That would mean having a site with contents under differing licenses depending on date, which is something the corpos can use as an excuse to continue siphoning everything without consequence.

I'm fine with a mirror / archive of SO. But it shoudl very definitively be a different thing than an active SO alternative, and their users and data storages should be also different.
