Thats how i see it too! All code on this public forums is considered Public Domain and free to use how ever and when ever you like unless expressed by an author and even then it might just be a mention in credits.

Asking an author to reveal his source code should be done politely. And even then he/she doesn't have to.

My comment: I dont try out other's beginners applications, I never do. But.. For learning purposes, its ok to take someones code, change it to do what you want and keep on learning.. but posting as "my first programs" thats a little like a "copy&paste programmer wannabe" - Okey you're on the learning process (we all are on some aspects, thats true) But dont do that please.. I take it as robbing, to use someone elses code and take credit for it. Its just a comment im giving though. You aint making money out of it (you couldnt anyway!) But.. just remember to put the right credits when you use someone's routine or snippet..
This is total bullshit i'm afraid. I copy and paste peoples code from here and other places all the time, why should i give credit to other people (if they havn't expressly asked me to do so)? Am i a "copy&paste programmer wannabe"? Probably i am then! :roll: I look at it as why should i re-invent the wheel when i find a useful piece of code that somebody else has happened to write? This is a community and we post purely to help each other out and share tips and code. There is absolutely no problem with taking code from this forum.
Give DevilDog a break, he's sharing programs he doesn't have to, if you find them useful, then try them out, if not just skip this page. :roll: I hate the way some people are thought of as noobs just because their post count is low, some people here are extremely advanced coders but don't post much and share only brief snippets.
Now you ask for the sources? The day I show you some of my projects you'll want the sources to "criticize" them too!!
