code or it didn't happen

Ballmer should learn this. Just how hard is it to find infringing code in OPEN SOURCE software?
-
"code or it didn't happen". It's good. Am I free to use that under the digg public license?
-
You're free to stop talking under the STFU for everyone else's sake license.

"Content posted by Digg users is dedicated to the public domain. " It's at the bottom of every page, so yes.

ORLY? So that means this code fragment is no longer GPL'd, but is public domain:
#include
#include
#include
void print_stack_trace(struct stack_trace *trace, int spaces)
{
int i, j;
for (i = 0; i < trace->nr_entries; i++) {
unsigned long ip = trace->entries[i];
for (j = 0; j < spaces + 1; j++)
printk(" ");
print_ip_sym(ip);
}

No, it means that by posting that code to Digg you have violated the GPL by agreeing to release into the public domain something for which you had no such authority and your comment should be removed.

Oh.. you sure? I thought I was just coming up with a clever loophole to Digg's public domain rule...
*fruitlessly attempts to bury, edit, report, and/or remove his previous comment*
