Not sure what you mean by this? EVery article I looked at does link back to
the originating blog. All the links in my article, for example, still work
exactly as I wrote them:

That means any text *not copied from somewhere else* is under CCA-S. In
other words, anything created on their site. Which seems perfectly valid
to me.

What makes you think that they get "top position" in a search engine result?
Searching for "DBD::Pg tracing" gives my original article as the top result,
with swik.net not even showing up at all.
They are simply parsing the RSS feed, and they *do* link back to planetpostgres,
including the "Continue reading" bit, so I'm not seeing this as a really big deal.
If they weren't linking back to PP at all, this might matter, but because they
do, this is actually a good thing and probably helps PP's Google rating.
