Using Code Examples

This book is here to help you get your job done. Thus, you may use the code in this book in your programs and documentation without contacting us for permission as long as you are reproducing limited portions for use in your own original programming and documentation projects, consistent with fair use under U.S. copyright law.

Thus, although incorporating some code from this book in a program that you write does not require permission, permission is required (whether or not you charge for access) if you want to include our code examples in a collection, inventory, or code repository for instance, in a DVD collection of code examples from O'Reilly books. Answering a question by citing this book and quoting example code does not require permission. Incorporating a significant amount of example code from this book into your product's documentation does require permission.

If you reproduce portions of our code examples, we appreciate an attribution that informs people of the title, author, publisher, and ISBN for this book, such as: "Greasemonkey Hacks by Mark Pilgrim, Copyright © 2006 O'Reilly Media, Inc., 0-596-10165-1."

Information about fair use is available on the Copyright Office web site (www.copyright.gov), and from other online sources such as Stanford University's copyright and fair use page (http://fairuse.stanford.edu/).

Permission requests for proposed uses of code examples that fall outside the scope of fair use should be sent to [e-mail].
