Are snippets copyrighted?
As snippets are (usually) protected by copyright, this raises the question which license would apply. Copyright exists automatically whenever someone creates a “work of authorship”.
Is it legal to copy and paste code?
Open Source Licensing The most obvious reason to not copy and paste code from open source projects is licensing. In addition, by not adhering to open source licenses, you put your company in violation of copyright laws, and there are stiff fines associated with copyright violations.
Is it ethical to copy code?
B) Normal Case: You keep a copy of your work and designs so you can reuse the ideas and perhaps even snippets of code. Unless the company in question has open sourced their code and allows anyone to use it under some kind of a BSD-like license, you have absolutely no right to use that code or IP.
Can you use snippets of songs on YouTube?
If you plan to include copyright-protected material in your video, you’ll generally need to seek permission to do so first. YouTube can’t grant you these rights and we can’t help you find the parties who can grant them to you. You’ll have to research and handle this process on your own or with a lawyer’s help.
Can you use snippets of songs in YouTube videos?
Yes, you CAN legally use copyrighted music in YouTube videos BUT you need to understand how YouTube’s copyright system works.
What is the most complex code?
If we define complexity as the average percentage of code that’s deeply nested — 4 times or more — in each project, JavaScript turned out to be the most complex language, followed by PHP, Java, C#, and Python.
How do you check if your code is plagiarized?
To detect plagiarized code, the most popular tool is the MOSS system. (If you already know you want to use MOSS this quarter, skip to “Getting Started” below). Using MOSS involves packaging up students’ solutions, submitting them for automated examination, and reviewing the results.
Should Authors be allowed to share the code they write?
Some employers may not allow employees to share any code they write. However, if authors are allowed to publish a piece of research in the open literature, then in my view they should be allowed to publish the parts of the code that are essential to the research.
Rather, Snipplr is a public code snippet library, and one of the best. If you want to share your code bits with more than just a few people, Snipplr is a great place. It is a very well designed snippet site with over 10,000 snippets.
The ability to execute the full code and replicate exactly the results in the paper is often of much less interest than the opportunity to examine the most relevant parts of the code. Some employers may not allow employees to share any code they write.
Can my former employer’s competitors write their own code?
Sure, competitors could write their own code to solve the same problem, but they shouldn’t get the advantage of building on work that your employer paid for, owns, and didn’t authorize you to take. If they have any sense at all, your new employer doesn’t want any part of the code that you took from your former employer.
