This contamination by looking at code is just as problematic as copying directly. If you don't look then you can claim to have no knowledge of the original code and the courts can never slap your hand with just cause. If you do look then you do have knowledge of the original code and courts could slap your hand mightily with large fines that no one can afford. IANAL. -- Earnie -- http://www.for-my-kids.com |
