Excerpt from the book Preface:
------------
Using Code Examples
This book is here to help you get your job done. In general, you may use the
code in this book in your programs and documentation. You do not need to
contact us for permission unless you're reproducing a significant portion of
the code. For example, writing a program that uses several chunks of code from
this book does not require permission. Selling or distributing a CD-ROM of
examples from O'Reilly books does require permission. Answering a question by
citing this book and quoting example code does not require permission.
Incorporating a significant amount of example code from this book into your
product's documentation does require permission.
We appreciate, but do not require, attribution. An attribution usually includes
the title, author, publisher, and ISBN. For example: "Python Programming, Third
Edition, by Mark Lutz. Copyright 2006 O'Reilly Media, Inc., 978-0-596-00925-0."
------------
So if you use "a significant portion of the code" you are required to ask
O'Reilly for permission. IANAL, but in my opinion you'll have to do much more
than "make changes to the program" in order to rightfully consider the final
product your own creation instead of a derivative work.
