if no copyright is presant save gpl or even excluding gpl then teh default is free for all.
if the code is atempted to be or has ben copyrited then only that the code exsisted somewhere else before the copyright needs to be shown along with the code date and a printout showing that no copyright was includid in the code to asure that the code falls under gpl or the default free
otherwise he must disprove that he copyed the code
copyright only aplyes to code that was created by the programmer
like how dll,s wer handled
or layout
copyrighting the part of the code that can be provin is origional to the coder

the problem is teaching judjes and juries about what coding is and what c++ or Java or whatever limits the programmer to
if u want to know what i think
well
the patent on conducters is over
the pattent on code commands is thrue
so all code in its bace forme shuld be considered gpl
like this
you pay for a dictionary
but
the words and definitios belong to us all for free
the package is what we are paying for
the fredom from the hastle to gather the information is what we pay for.
