So I’ll stop putting things into item lists (or at least make sure they are also in a table).
I agree that the swamp is deep here.
I think some of the discussion here essentially was about whether the various forms of pseudocode are “classical programming code”.
Of course, we also have different jurisdictions in the backs of our minds; if I think about copyright I might really be thinking about Urheberrecht/droit d’auteur…
Hey, we're in the U.S. Moral rights do not exist unless you are spray
painting graffiti on a derilict building that is torn down.*
But large parts of the discussion were about the usefulness of <CODE BEGINS> in a document without being informed that this is a legal mechanism only.
In case I haven't said this clearly enough, CODE BEGINS is merely a hint.
If something is code it gets the BSD licence, if it isn't, it doesn't,
regardless of whether it is labeled.
