=== Copyright issues ===
The fact that this page sprung into being with many language examples at once with code wrapped in <source> blocks makes me worry that the code was transwikied from somewhere like Literate Programs, which would be a copyright violation. Are you certain that you have permission to do this? (Hmm. I was going to point you at a Copyrights page, but I can't seem to find one.) --[[User:IanOsgood|IanOsgood]] 10:35, 18 December 2007 (MST)

:::I've updated [[Rosetta Code:Copyrights]]. Any suggestions on where to link to it to make it more easily found? --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 18:41, 18 December 2007 (MST)
Add a link in [[Rosetta_Code:About]], and maybe include a link at the bottom of each page with Privacy policy/About Rosetta Code/Disclaimers maybe.
Re: copyright of the Man_or_boy algorithm and derivatives, I attributed the sources for the Non-GPL versions. As far as the Donald Knuth and Charles H. Lindsey versions... I know there is a rule on fair usage, but I am not sure how far this goes. The algorithm was published in the ALGOL bulletin Number 17 - July 1964 [http://archive.computerhistory.org/resources/text/algol/algol_bulletin/A17/P24.HTM]. I was very brief. The Charles H. Lindsey - AB52 December 1988 versions [http://archive.computerhistory.org/resources/text/algol/algol_bulletin/A52/P43.HTM] embedded the Algol 68 version in a much larger document.
Maybe the ALGOL Bulletin itself has a more exacting/generous license. I am thinking that I will go back the wikipedia and get their thoughts. And if necessary delete both extracts in both wikis. Any thoughts?
