That's fair and good way to show respect (and even is law in some countries).
So I don't understand your answer here?
It sounds like "yes I know what intellectual property is but I just ignore it as I'm basicaly using it but I have renamed the code and redone it totally different (using the same idea) in my code" 
What basically is exactly what you should NOT do without telling where your sources and/or ideas came from IF the were not totally up to yourself.
But I might have missunderstood you there. |
yes I think you did misunderstand. I would have not thought api functions and constants are anyone other than ZOS intelectual property and free to use. Thats what I was referring to.
I peek to see how to access something usually. I know what I want to do and usually even how I want to do it but sometimes dont know what a function or constant etc might be called to look for to use in my own code.
