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