No, I'm not a lawyer and/or qualified to do that. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't care to find out by attempting it.

I am not a lawyer. I would imagine you could be charged with 'obstruction of justice' or some other such law if you did this in the US or as a US citizen. Something to think about before doing such a thing.

It might be a stretch but..

"LSD was one of the materials tested in the MKUltra program. The final phase of LSD testing involved surreptitious administration to unwitting non-volunteer subjects in normal life settings by undercover officers of the Bureau of Narcotics acting for the CIA." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_MKUltra

Re:How to correctly use code you didnt write on Sunday March 11, 2012 @04:49PM (#3691245)

Excuse me if this is a naive question but I'm kind of confused on using just a few lines of code. I know you must attribute the original creator when the license calls for it but where? For instance lets say I have 500 lines of code and 10 lines of borrowed code at lines 245-255. Whats best practice in that situation?
