> Is this list copyrighted?
It depends on what you mean by "this list." Even if something is
copyrighted, paraphrasing a part of the work is not a
violation. However, the law and the ethical standard aren't the same
and the latter is often an additional limit in doing this sort of things.
> If not, why would that be problematic?
I didn't say anything about problematic about it.
But I can think of many ways this can be. If person X asks a question
and person Y spends 10 minutes writing an answer and if Y later finds
that X didn't have any problem with the topic but rather needed that
piece of info to discuss something in other forums, Y would feel like
s/he'll never help anyone for good.
> Academics do this all the time.
Not in the way customarily done by internet forum folks.
Journals, publishers, editorial houses, etc. have their rules and
guidelines. Ethical standards are also a part of science education and
many guidelines are published by National Academy of Science and other
organizations. Often additional regulations come from the funding
source.
