Step One: reach out to Christian and ask him for permission (he has a contact
form on his blog, or a good excuse to connect on LinkedIn).

Subject: How does licensing work for open source software(available on the
internet) or books written
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.
HYPERLINK
"https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/antognini.ch/2019/04/vsql_cs_histograms-what-are-the-buckets-thresholds/__;!!GqivPVa7Brio!MIntfw0DgN3xCFapbdtmx6ZkVYnkjZdNpccVXZCllE7CwT-BSvgESSNJeCW5_wQyUGc$"https://antognini.ch/2019/04/vsql_cs_histograms-what-are-the-buckets-thresholds/
Or is that a strict no-no? Does every piece of blog/book have to be written by
myself or does it depend on the flexibility or license details put by the
author of the referenced blog/blook?
I plan put the reference details at the end of the blog/book.
another example.
i plan to use few of the scripts from the below:
HYPERLINK
"https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/antognini.ch/downloads/top2/allfiles.zip__;!!GqivPVa7Brio!MIntfw0DgN3xCFapbdtmx6ZkVYnkjZdNpccVXZCllE7CwT-BSvgESSNJeCW5WmKLxRs$"https://antognini.ch/downloads/top2/allfiles.zip
Some of the blogs/book refer to HYPERLINK
"https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0__;!!GqivPVa7Brio!MIntfw0DgN3xCFapbdtmx6ZkVYnkjZdNpccVXZCllE7CwT-BSvgESSNJeCW5b8mRKs4$"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
