I have often wondered about this regarding GPL code. I have studied so much
GPLed code I cant help but use it this way when I program non-free software.
Does that violate the GPL? Does just the act of re-typing the code make it
your own? Its not possible to forget a clever programming technique once
you have seen it in some GPL source code so what can you do?
