possibly unrelated...but what about using snippets of code from books like o'reilly's "perl cookbook"? to me, it seems like its perfectly ok to use this code in my work, since the point of the book is to publish bits of code that may be useful to others. but how well would a case hold in court if o'reilly decided to sue because i used code from that book? seems to me that i'd be screwed, because although they seem to want people to use the code, they still have copyrights on it.
