| 37 | + Have I The Right To Submit a Snippet? |
| 38 | + </h1> |
| 39 | + <p> |
| 40 | + <strong>This topic is for guidance only and is not authoritative. To be |
| 41 | + sure you have the rights to submit a snippet contact the initial author or |
| 42 | + read any license that accompanied the snippet.</strong> |
| 43 | + </p> |
| 44 | + <ul> |
| 45 | + <li> |
| 46 | + If you wrote the snippet you have the right to do as you like with it. |
| 47 | + </li> |
| 48 | + <li> |
| 49 | + If you acquired the snippet from a blog post or similar, check the |
| 50 | + posting to see if the author has placed any restrictions on use. It is |
| 51 | + unusual for the author to assert any rights over code snippets, but they |
| 52 | + may do. |
| 53 | + </li> |
| 54 | + <li> |
| 55 | + If a snippet is in the public domain you can submit it and it is OK to |
| 56 | + license it under the <a |
| 57 | + class="weblink" |
| 58 | + target="_blank" |
| 59 | + href="http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT" |
| 60 | + >MIT License</a>. |
| 61 | + </li> |
| 62 | + <li> |
| 63 | + If you extracted a snippet from anyone's licensed source code then you |
| 64 | + need to check the license to see if it allows the code to be distributed |
| 65 | + and re-licensed. |
| 66 | + </li> |
| 67 | + <li> |
| 68 | + If the author simply requires credit for his or her work included their |
| 69 | + name in the comments when you submit the snippet and make it clear they |
| 70 | + need to be credited. Note though that any requirement to reproduce a |
| 71 | + copyright statement cannot be met: snippets the Code Snippets database |
| 72 | + are released under the copyright of Peter Johnson and |
| 73 | + "contributors". Contributors to the database can be viewed in |
| 74 | + the <a href="dlg_about.htm">About box</a>. |
