I had several tabs open about the origin of "boof" which I was going to edit and post in my answer but now it would now look I did it out of fear, which is total rubbish of course. Here are the links: books.google.co.uk/… and books.google.co.uk/… | |
| Jun 7, 2017 at 20:14 | comment | added | English Student | OP is very right to wonder if it's acceptable to copy&paste an answer from another site, even with attribution, not contributing anything new to the answer. COPYRIGHT RULES having being followed (not my area of expertise; see below answer giving copyright rules of Quora website) an ELU member could ethically copy&paste an entire answer (with attribution to another site but no new material) if they were legitimately entitled to do so. This is nothing we could determine either way, but considering the community-established credibility of senior ELU members I will take it in good faith! | |

However, it is fair use to quote and attribute content in general, from any public website — including ours! | |
