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

    Or used by people in any commercial product. Is there really enough people to justify a info exchange of just hobby projects?

      See here’s the thing: Creative Commons is not an exclusionary license. If I want to make commercial use of something that has a CC-NC license, I explicitly can ask the author for a secondary license limited to the usage and scope that I need. The important thing here is that the author still retains control, as well as a data point of who is profiting from their stuff and how.

        So if someone wanted to use this for work they would have to have an issue, find an answer, contact a person, and hope they can use the thing they just found to their problem?

        Like, who wants that?

        Heck I don’t want every person on here who found something I said useful to be hounding me about using my code either.

          Have you literally missed out on the fact that the protest is happening? The protest is certainly not because SO answers are bad.
