I am not an attorney, but yes, you can use
that code legally. Use common sense: if code is publicly posted, and
there in not an explicit copyright restriction in it, you are probably safe to
use it (I did not see any copyright notices in the sample code I looked at).
If you find the code through other means, like the debugger, then you need to
be careful. This is from the Flex license. (d) For Sample Application Code, if any, only: You
may modify the HTML, CFML, MXML, ActionScript, Flash Files (FLA), or similar
sample application code form of those portions of the Software that are
identified, if any ,
as sample application code in the documentation (the "Sample Application
Code") solely for the purposes of designing, developing and testing your
own software applications. However, you are permitted to use, copy and
redistribute your modified sample code only if all of the following conditions
are met: (A) you include Macromedia's copyright notice (if any) with your
application, including every location in which any other copyright notice
appears in your application; (B) you do not otherwise use Macromedia's name,
logos or other Macromedia trademarks to market your application; (C) there is
installed and running on each server in conjunction with which your application
is running one or more duly licensed copies, as required, of the Commercial
Version or, if applicable and subject to Section 3(f) hereof, Education
Version; and (D) such modified sample code is designed to operate only in
connection with the Software. You agree to indemnify, hold harmless and defend
Macromedia from and against any loss, damage, claims or lawsuits, including
attorney's fees, that arise or result from the use or distribution of your
application. From: Ok I do not want to break any copyright laws so this is why
I am asking this here. Lets say I wanted to look at the following url Ok and lets say I wanted to cut and paste the code removing
any copyrighted information and use the source code to make my own page that
looks similar would I be able to do that legally? I am asking because I have
heard that when someone writes a web page the code is copyrighted? At least
when it comes to html
