Because HRI's standard is "Show Your Work" - it is also imperative that you respect other peoples work.
- do not copy project deliverables beyond the distribution limits for which they were contracted.
- request permission from the author should you wish to copy a method or have them post it in the appropriate SIG (if they dare - SIG's are peer reviewed and errors show up quickly.)
- attribute all sources.
- respect all licenses - this applies to Open Source projects especially.
