Got a question for the masses out there. More of a solicitation of opinions. I see a lot of blogs that reference code done by others. Especially realted to WordPress plugins and such. Someone will quote the code in their blog and link to the original article, etc. My question is, is this an acceptable practice? Unlike articles, I see a lot of full code snippets reprinted from site to site.
As long as the people link to and give credit to the author, I think its ok. Although also, "full code snippets" seems like a contradictory phrase to me
