I think you should get the opinion of an IP lawyer about this.
From reading the terms of service, my (not a lawyer) understanding is that comments made on this site remain under the copyright of those who made the comments (YC is granted license to use and publish those comments). In the US, if your use of the comments don't qualify as fair use, then republishing them would technically be a copyright violation.
Whether or not any commenters care enough to actually enforce their copyright is a different question. I'm guessing, for the most part, they wouldn't.
But, again, I am not a lawyer, let alone an IP lawyer. This appears to be a gray enough topic that an expert's opinion would be wise.
