This seems like a situation that should be clarified. How about a
notice on the forums, perhaps when posting, that users asre agreeing
that "all information submitted to the WordPress support forums may be
repurposed for use on the WordPress Codex" or something? It is a gray
area without a policy, which isn't in keeping with WPs generally
straightforward reputation...
