Why - what value would this add? You demonstrate some thinking by asking. Let's say you wrote an original article and posted it on your site. Now some other guy copies the lot and posts it on his site making it look like his own idea/work. Would that be OK with you? If you have to ask will you be sued you have not thought enough about the question.

When answering a question please:

Read the question carefully.
Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.

Please see the licenses used and pay attention for the license indicated on each article: http://www.codeproject.com/info/Licenses.aspx[^].

As a minimum, you should use the content responsibly, accurately, and provide accurate and clearly visible attribution of the source material and its authors. However, I don't understand why copying anything? Why not just posting the references?
