Plagiarism

In that the code presented herein is covered by the GNU Free Documentation Licence 1.2, I'm not convinced that anything developed or reimplemented from an example in another language can be or should be identified as "plagiarized", particularly if the appropriate acknowledgements are in place. (Rosetta Code even provides the means witihin the editor to indicate that a program is a direct translation of some other work via the {{trans|XXXX}} template. [see Template:Trans]) Plagiarism can be a very emotive word and a serious charge to level at someone, particularly when related to software development; we should avoid describing work presented here as such.

Remember that by contributing programs to Rosetta Code you are "promising us that you wrote this yourself, or copied it from a public domain or similar free resource" [sic.]

Pls advise at a better (acceptable) wording! I did to the best of my knowledge. --Walterpachl 08:30, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi Walterpachl; You should say that the second was an adaptation of the first example that works on the IBM ...

In general, the two paragraphs should be changed so that there is no need for the correction mentioned at the beginning of the second paragraph, just remove the wrong info on compatibility between Rexx and ooRexx. --Paddy3118 08:54, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

thanks. changed. --Walterpachl

Coloring / Highlighting Rexx code

I asked for adding GeShi highlighting for Rexx (and ooRexx) code. This is now in place. Thanks are in order to Jon Wolfers who created the php some years ago. Please state whether you like it, hate it, want it removed, want it changed. Always trying and sometimes achieving something --Walterpachl
