: RC missed the boat in the license switchover. RC is also fixed at GFDL v1.2, as opposed to more recent versions. This is because I cannot arbitrarily switch the license; there's been no copyright assignment (and such a thing isn't possible in Europe, anyway), so I can't simply do whatever I wish with the code. What's important is right at the bottom of the form I'm filling: "Please note that all contributions to Rosetta Code are considered to be released under the GNU Free Documentation License 1.2 (see Rosetta Code:Copyrights for details) ... You are also promising us that you wrote this yourself, or copied it from a public domain or similar free resource. Do not submit copyrighted work without permission!". It is not permissible to simply copy code from other resources without the consent of the original author, except in the nebulous region of 'fair use'. It's easy to make arguments for and against the idea that copying code snippets to RC from other places qualifies as 'fair use', but I'm of the opinion that it probably should **not** be done. RC is a sole proprietorship, and, frankly, *I'm* the guy on the hook for all 800-odd megabytes of content on the site if I don't do things properly. When in doubt, reimplement. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] ([[User talk:Short Circuit|talk]]) 03:19, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
