I found this amusing email thread about some guy who wanted permission to use someones coding. I'm not sure that I can be sympathetic with either of them as the situation got way out of control.

Classic waste of time

The moral is, in my opinion, if someone asks you not to steal their stuff. Don't steal it.

He has an impressive resume. If you mearly look at those email threads you might get the wrong impression. Look around at the rest of the site too while there. It is very interesting.

GOD i hit people like that all the time. sadly, only on the net-- i never get the chance to hit them in real life.

great link, jeffld, thanks. but i'm intrigued-- why do you think people might get the wrong impression re jeff from that email thread? seemed to me he came across very reasonable (tho just as subject to the "must have last post" syndrome as the next man :)
