"provided you pay careful attention to authorship and licensing issues."

Precisely the point. We are not copyright lawyers. As I noted, copying the text from CP taints the text. As in, dealing with ensuring that the text is taken properly and in accordance with all laws and contracts and licenses is more difficult than a simple "it's all good".

CPs copyright disclaimer also does not state whether an author is licensing their submissions permanently to CP, or if they are contributing their work as a piece of a collective and assigning copyright rights to the work to whatever entity controls CP. (Andy really is a fail lawyer.)
