Thank you for chiming in, I checked a few things and this is what I found:

https://creativecommons.org/faq/#who-gives-permission-to-use-material-offered-under-creative-commons-licenses
:

"Our licenses and legal tools are intended for use by anyone who holds
copyright in the material. This is often, but not always, the creator."

I'm the creator of my posts, and I haven't granted licenses under CC-BY-SA to
anyone. Ubuntu's Launchpad cannot use my work as they please.

  I also found the following:

https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ :

"If you remix, transform, or build upon the material, you must distribute your
contributions under the same license as the original."

This means that Ubuntu's Launchpad had to add something like:
   "This information was released under CC-BY-SA"

Instead, at the bottom of that page I find:
   "© 2004-2020 Canonical Ltd". 


Actually, I'm not interested in the legal aspects of this topic. I'm more
interested in the reasonable aspects of this topic.

I have a lot of appreciation for all the people here who put their time and
effort in creating and improving LibreOffice. 

Recently I participated in 26 bug reports. I installed several LibreOffice
versions, I checked bugs under Windows and Linux/Debian, I made numerous screen
copies, etc. etc. It's a lot of work and that's okay.

If however, the result of my blood, sweat and tears is that my work can be
copied by anyone who likes to copy it, then my motivation is gone.
