What is the correct format for quoting a SE site?
<p>The <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Creative Commons site about the type of license that SE uses</a> states what you need to include in the attribution. What is a format that can be used to quote all SE questions/answers/comments on all sites under this law?</p>
<p>In summary, I’m looking for something that is easy to copy paste and would be legal to use for quoting SE sites.</p>
<p>Note that I know very little about law, so if there is something I missed in my question please do not hesitate to point it out.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode" rel="nofollow noreferrer">actual text of the CC license</a> says:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>You must:</p>
<p>A.   retain the following if it is supplied by the Licensor with the Licensed Material:</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>identification of the creator(s) of the Licensed Material and any others designated to receive attribution, in any reasonable manner requested by the Licensor (including by pseudonym if designated);</p>
<ul>
<li>a copyright notice;</li>
<li>a notice that refers to this Public License;</li>
<li>a notice that refers to the disclaimer of warranties;</li>
<li>a URI or hyperlink to the Licensed Material to the extent reasonably practicable;</li>
</ul>
<p>B. indicate if You modified the Licensed Material and retain an indication of any previous modifications; and</p>
<p>C. indicate the Licensed Material is licensed under this Public License, and include the text of, or the URI or hyperlink to, this Public License.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Thus, an appropriate notice for the above question would be:</p>

<p>Other formats are possible and would comply with the license requirements, but a link to the original post and one to the CC license, and a copyright notice are required.</p>
