> Rule 6: Provide links to the original source of copied code I learned this rule viscerally early in my career. Back in the golden age of Experimental Flash Art there was an enigmatic site called "flight404", and one day the site's author released source files for some of his more popular projects. All the Flash devs in my office started poring through them, and soon after my boss called me over to show me my own name in one of the comments! Apparently the author (Robert Hodgin - whom I very much looked up to) had asked for help anonymously in a forum, and I had helped him out so he credited me in a comment (just for his own reference - in those days there was no Flash open source community and designers rarely distributed their source). That experience made me pretty obsessive about crediting outside influences in my source code whenever I get the chance.
