Obviously, copying the codes of someone else web
pages is illegal !

Now, not everything is copyrighted : It depend of
the complexity. I can't claim a copyright on
a "while(1) {}" loops but I certainly can for
a javascript program that would display some
scrolling text.

Also, the copyright notice that come with a program
may give you extanded rights. For example, the bandwidth
module I wrote for Apache is under the GNU public domain
license. That mean that anyone can take it, modify it,
use it. But they are not allowed to charge other people
for using it and they are not allowed to change the
license. (So a vendor could make his own version of
Apache including it and sell that version. But it doesn't
have the right to charge specificaly for that module and
he hasn't the right to remove/change my copyright).
(Apache has also this own license so vendors can't change
for it either).
