Hi folks,

When giving credit where it's due in my code, should I mention the
code that I looked at, or the code on which _that_ was based?

Put graphically:

pkgA	written by personA

pkgB	written by personB	bits stolen from pkgA by personA

I am writing
pkgC	written by personC (me) bits stolen from ?

Thanks,
Sheldon.
