Software released in the CR obviously has its Copyright status displayed. But what about the example code etc posted in threads - not only here, but on any other boards (like NI)?
There are a lot of very useful code snippets and packages around, but is software distributed without a license at all, actually usable without recrimination as we (I at least) have assumed in the past? Are we (technically and legally) actually able to post other peoples non-licensed code or even use it without permission of the original author (who may not be available or even known)? Should sites state that any "donated" code in forums (outside the CR) becomes public domain and they forfeit their copywrite claims or make it clear that the authors original rights are entirely preserved to clarify?
