After all, it would reflect reality. Coding examples are explicitly intended
to show people how to do something, so they can hardly be expected to
refrain from copying the stuff into what they are doing. Further, the
examples can hardly be considered substantial bodies of work. If they were
substantial, then they wouldn't be examples. Since they are examples, it
hardly seems worth bothering over, given that they are intended to be
copied anyway. Release them to public domain and be done with it. :)
