- williamcotton 2y agoYup, I know that, but I encourage people to not be afraid of republishing little bits of code for educational or archival purposes. They should know they do have fair use to lean on if they do end up in the incredibly unlikely situation of ending up in court.. unless of course they're painting a very large target on their backs and making quite a bit of money from the IP of a large corporation!
