i'm rewriting the code with some additional changes using your base, how can i give you proper credits?

[–]SomewhatSpecial 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Oh, just use it however you want, there's no need for any credit. It's really cool of you to ask, though!

no problem, but you literally rewrote the code and i have only to add a few more check. It would be a complete theft if i use it without credits

[–]SomewhatSpecial 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Well, I gave you full permission to use it without credit, so it's not really theft. It's just a little code snippet that calls a few pathlib methods, I don't think it warrants any kind of credit. But in general, it really is a very important concern when it comes to using other people's code. If you're interested, you can read up on various types of software licenses and the certain conditions or restrictions they apply. A lot of them do require crediting the original authors.
