Right. That functionality is limited to
Project Leads and PMC members.
Sorry about that.
What have we learned yesterday? "open source" isn't that open
after all ;-)
I guess that I'll have to pose the
question.
Thanks.
Can you give me some words to start from?
Sure:

There was a request on the dash-dev mailing list how to handle the
following situation: Copying code from public sources like
Wikipedia, Stackoverflow or private blogs.
To limit the scope of the discussion and kind of create a
precedent, let's start with copying code from Stackoverflow.
Stackoverflow.com is a site where all kinds of software developers
share their knowledge.
According to the rules of the site, all "user contributions
licensed under cc-wiki with attribution required" (see the bottom
of each page on http://stackoverflow.com/).
"cc-wiki" means: "You are free to share - to copy, distribute and
transmit the work -, to remix - to adapt the work - and to make
commercial use of the work"
(https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/)
"attribution required" means "You must attribute the work in the
manner specified by the author or licensor (but not in any way
that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work)."
Details can be found in this blog post:
http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/06/attribution-required/
The four rules mentioned there apply if you "copy" ("republish
this content") the whole stackoverflow site - answers, questions,
user data, everything. They don't make that much sense when just a
piece of code is copied.
For me, only the second rule makes sense in the context of "using
code from stackoverflow.com in Eclipse projects": "Hyperlink
directly to the original question"
I read that as: Add a comment with a link to the place where you
found the code that you copied/used as a template.
Can you please verify this for any code published on
stackoverflow.com? My main goal is to get a single all-time
approval for code so Eclipse developers can use this great
resource without causing thousands of tiny CQ requests.
If this works well, I'd like to file similar requests for other
public developer resources like, for example, Wikipedia.
