    Hi,

    Some articles have CPOL mentioned on top and bottom description.

    But individual files in the source code have different license texts.
    For example:

    // Written by Chris Maunder (chris@codeproject.com)
    4 // Copyright 1998-2005.
    5 //
    6 // TextProgressCtrl is a drop-in replacement for the standard
    7 // CProgressCtrl that displays text in a progress control.
    8 //
    9 // Homepage: http://www.codeproject.com/miscctrl/text\_progressctrl.asp
    10 //
    11 // This code may be used in compiled form in any way you desire. This
    12 // file may be redistributed by any means PROVIDING it is not sold for
    13 // profit without the author's written consent, and providing that this
    14 // notice and the author's name is included. If the source code in
    15 // this file is used in any commercial application then an email to
    16 // me would be nice.
    17 //
    18 // This file is provided "as is" with no expressed or implied warranty.
    19 // The author accepts no liability if it causes any damage to your
    20 // computer or anything else vaguely within its vicinity.
    21 //
    22 // Expect bugs.
    23 //
    24 // Please use and enjoy. Please let me know of any bugs/mods/improvements
    25 // that you have found/implemented and I will fix/incorporate them into this
    26 // file.

    My question is when an author posts his code on Code Project, does his license override CPOL or the license statement in the individual file stands for the particular file and CPOL is for the files with no explicit license?
