    What do you think about articles that offer source code, which is not free for commertial use? It looks like a free advertizement on CodeProject for me.

      I don't like it and is one reason I stopped frequenting another unnamed developer web site.

          I think it's an outstanding opportunity to learn techniques that work from pros who have mastered them. If I want to do something commercial, I'll take what I've learned and write my own code to do the job. In the meantime, I appreciate the free tutoring. Word of the day: Rotundacrat

Will they really know you used thier code. I never bother with licence stuff when it comes to code. If you freely put it here, then i guess it's mine for the takes:). Maybe one day when i own a multi-billion dollar company, some jerk would step up and sue me. Until then if i lay hands on your code, it mine.

LOL :) I must admit how would they know - unless you actually published your source code they would never know - but then you would have to do some serious rework to hide the fact - eg in MFC/ATL et al if you took a class and then exposed it in a library for you to use but still kept the same classnames eg COtherCompaniesUsefulClassName - then they could suspect. With C# they could look at the exposed classes and it would be obvious if you used their namespace/classnames - but a quick search and replace would solve these problems. If someone was really determined then they could look at the placment of the public/protected/private methods etc in any exposed header to look for a common variables and methods pattern or they could have a look at the assembler/IL and see if you used the same techniques.

                      If it goes to court they well might tear your executable apart and see that a compiled part looks more or less equal to the compiled part of the questioned source code. Dont underestimate to what extends this might go. There are no limits if money is involved. Imagine you write the next killer application and use a (free-not-for-commercial-use) class which is basically the heart of your app. Dont you think that at some point this might bite you in the ...?? Wouldnt you do the same? ...if you're under 8 or younger. Chris Maunder, the Lounge

It's a sh*tty world. Take advantage of whom ever when ever you can.
