Re: How does licensing work for open source software(available on the internet) or books written

*" So you're basically asking to "Let me just take all the work you put into writing your book, and sell it as my own".* *No , that is not what i asked nor what i am planning to do*. Let me clarify- What i want to avoid is to do a small repetitive work that is not my research nor my main point. And i want to do this without going the wrong way legally & avoiding licensing troubles.

When did i say that i will sell all as i my own work , it as my own?

If you read any book , whenever author refers that content from another he make mention of that. So i was looking for exact dos and donts.

For e.g. if you see this .sql from Tanel , he reference it to Tom Kyte.

https://github.com/tanelpoder/tpt-oracle/blob/master/pr.sql

• Notes: This script is based on Tom Kyte's original printtbl code ( http://asktom.oracle.com )
• For coding simplicity (read: lazyness) I'm using custom quotation marks ( q'\ ) so
• this script works only from Oracle 10gR2 onwards I want to do something like above.
