What license is best used for simple example code snippets?
I tend to say "In public domain". Is there some example license text for this 
(TechBase seems to only have non-public-domain ones)?

And what about all the example code on TechBase? Is it under the FDL? And what 
does that mean for people using the snippets in their own code?

Maybe nitpicking, but some examples can be more complicated, so worth a 
license...

Thanks IA
Friedrich
