*" So you're basically asking to "Let me just take all the work you put
into writing your book, and sell it as my own".*
*No , that is not what i asked nor what i am planning to do*. Let me
clarify- What i want to avoid is to do a small repetitive work that is not
my research nor my main point. And i want to do this without going the
wrong way legally & avoiding licensing troubles.
When did i say that i will sell all as i my own work , it as my own?
If you read any book , whenever author refers that content from another he
make mention of that. So i was looking for exact dos and donts.
For e.g. if you see this .sql from Tanel , he reference it to Tom Kyte.
https://github.com/tanelpoder/tpt-oracle/blob/master/pr.sql
-- Notes: This script is based on Tom Kyte's original printtbl code (
http://asktom.oracle.com ;)
-- For coding simplicity (read: lazyness) I'm using custom quotation marks
( q'\ ) so
-- this script works only from Oracle 10gR2 onwards
I want to do something like above.

How would you feel if someone went over your scripts library that out of
good will you share with others, and then tries to make money off of your
work by blatantly copying it and selling it as their own?
Also, just because someone posts something on a blog, does not make it
"open source" and automagically GPL licensed for you to use and sell as
your own as you please. I'm not a lawyer, but I wouldn't be surprised to
get sued if I did that. Again, I'm not a lawyer, but intellectual property
is still intellectual property, whether it's published on a blog or not.
And the link you mention to the allfiles.zip archive, that is from Chris'
book. So you're basically asking to "Let me just take all the work you put
into writing your book, and sell it as my own".
But this isn't so much about "licensing" (copyright would be a better
term) but about ethical standards, really.

Hi Listers,
I have one question.
I am thinking of writing a book/blog and because i have never done these
before i have one question .
*What are the licensing dos and donts when using or referencing work of
others.*
Lets say i write a blog/book and reference for e.g. exact testcase used
in the below blog.
https://antognini.ch/2019/04/vsql_cs_histograms-what-are-the-buckets-thresholds/
Or is that a strict no-no? Does every piece of blog/book have to be
written by myself or does it depend on the flexibility or license details
put by the author of the referenced blog/blook?
I plan put the reference details at the end of the blog/book.
another example.
i plan to use few of the scripts from the below:
https://antognini.ch/downloads/top2/allfiles.zip
Some of the blogs/book refer to
http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0
What does it mean in simple terms. This is my first time so wondering and
any inputs would be appreciated :)
Apologies if this is a very basic qn, but none of my peers/seniors have
written a book and i have great regard for community here , so though of
checking.
P.S. My above example is just one out of many i may use. I use many such
on my day-to-day work
