[gdal-dev] Using code from the tutorials

This is my first post to this mailing list, so I'd first like to take
the opportunity to say hello to everyone (and I do hope I'm sending
this to the right list)!

My question is this:

I'd like to use some source code from this tutorial:

http://www.gdal.org/ogr/ogr_apitut.html

as the starting point for a program I'm writing which will convert
comma separated text files with coordinates from a total station into
ESRI shapefiles. Is this all right? And if so, who should be credited
for writing that piece of code?

I will release the source code of the finished program under the GPL.

Best wishes,
Micke Nordin

Micke,

I believe I am the author of almost all, or all of the code and text in that
document.  I grant you rights to use and relicense any and all of the
materials in that page as you see fit.

Best regards,

Micke,

I've never seen any copying information for the tutorial codes.
I think you should be safe considering the tutorial sources as in public
domain and there should not be any need for credits or explicit
permission.
