Return to Question

I know a lot of answers (including some of my own) are just copy/pasted from an official website that has the answer (See This Question).

Is this allowed or do copyright issues make this a bad thing to do?

If it isn't allowed we should try to make it more clear to the users because I see this all the time (I can go look if you don't believe me)

To fix, is it suitable to just paraphrase the C/P'd text instead of leaving it as is?
