Indeed. If you so much as look at the code while reimplementing it, that's strictly speaking a copyright infringement, since it's the code that's copyrighted. Please don't do this, it can get open source projects in big trouble. (Algorithms can't be copyrighted, only patented, so you can always implement from a paper that does not list full source code; IIUC, only when someone *runs* an implementation of a patented algorithm there's a problem.) -- Lars Buitinck Scientific programmer, ILPS University of Amsterdam ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor your physical, virtual and cloud infrastructure from a single web console.
