Hey, I want to make sure we're following their rules and guidelines. I had reviewed the copyright page (and the related license) and I was confident we were following their preferred attribution requests and other specifications.
Can you point me in the right direction here if I'm missing something?
Read through their about page. They have a few points addressing sharing questions & solutions. Specifically, question 13 and the disclaimer at the bottom.
I know that in the past, they were "blocking" people who shared solutions online. It seems like they have realized that that is not a feasible goal, but it is still important to respect their objectives.
I learned so much solving problem XXX so is it okay
to publish my solution elsewhere?
It appears that you have answered your own question. There is nothing quite like that "Aha!" moment when you finally beat a problem which you have been working on for some time. It is often through the best of intentions in wishing to share our insights so that others can enjoy that moment too. Sadly, however, that will not be the case for your readers. Real learning is an active process and seeing how it is done is a long way from experiencing that epiphany of discovery. Please do not deny others what you have so richly valued yourself.
Thanks for this. The "logged-out" version of the page wasn't showing this question+answer for some reason.
