It depends mostly on the source of the code...But the better is to ask the author...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Not really - personally, I'd assume it was copyright and ask for permission before I used it.

If you mean outside of CP, then if no explicit license is provided then it will most probably come under "All Rights Reserved". However, you'll need to check with a money grabbing bast lawyer for the specific jurisdiction.

no, i mean inside of CP.
I've used some code from a very old article (over then 10 years) and there is no licence defined:
"This article has no explicit license attached to it but may contain usage terms in the article text or the download files themselves. If in doubt please contact the author via the discussion board below."
The last message from author was in december 2007 
And now our release is blocked because of missing licence

You should really ask this question in the Suggestions and Bugs forum. We don't have access to the CodeProject Legal Beagles, but they do there.

Is it possible to move this topic to Suggestions and Bugs forum? Or should i create a duplicate topic?
|
|
|
|
|
Create a new one there. The people who have the power to move the topic are the people you need to contact anyway.

Last time this came up:
If neither article nor source code does not explicitely state a licence, you have to ask the author.
A few years ago, CP started to ask for a licence when submitting an article. Most articles submitted since then do explicitely state their licence. For earlier articles, it's in the submission if you are lucky - but very often, not.
(THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVISE, ASK A LAWYER, SMOKING KILLS)

I went to The Bundaberg Rum Distillery[^]
Behind a very large electric fence was the "Bond-store" where AUD1.2 Billion (yes Billion) dollars worth of rum is "maturing". They export 4%: 3% to New Zealand and 1% to the rest of the world. No wonder the Norwegians on the tour didn't really know what the fuss was about, and it explains why I don't understand a lot of Aussies!
The tasting at the end is worth the entry fee in itself.![Beer | [beer]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif)

Interestingly it used to be just a plain old wooden fence. Then @Michael-Martin found out about it and they had to up the security a tad.

There is special "G20" style security for MM types.

You get a ticket that tells you how many rum's you have to drink - drink that many and you get out!

I have acquired a 42" flat screen plasma TV.
The price was too good to pass on £0.00 + collection. As it's in the next village - Chobham, home to a great rugby team who's members are the nicest people you'll ever meet - that is on the route for the school run, it won't cost too much to collect it either.

Um...
At what resolution? 
Because if it's 640*480, that's going to be about a millimetre per pixel...
Are you planning on coding from a distance?

It can, allegedly, handle a wee bit more than that.

Not when you have to cross the room to type, then walk back to see what you typed, then walk...

If you use it as a TV I can't see how that is a progress?
