Hypothetical situation:

 A message is posted on c.g.r.r. seeking information related to Pov. The
question is outside my level of experience to answer but I recently saw
a similar question answered here in the groups. The easy thing to do of
course would be to simply quote the answer posted here to the question
on c.g.r.r.. By this copyright restriction am I obligated to take the
answer from this group and reword it so that it's contents become my
own ?
