In Berne Convention countries, anything you publish is automatically under your own copyright, unless you've agreed to terms to the contrary. (And publication on the Internet does count as publication.)

For example, when working under a contract, this often assigns the code you write during work hours to your employer. Your country's laws may even make that assumption by default, in the absence of specific copyright clauses in your contract.

PerlMonks, unusually for site of its nature does not have a terms of service document that users need to agree to. Such documents usually include language to the effect that users retain copyright on their contributions, but by posting material, they automatically give the website permission to publish them.

So, unless I've missed something subtle, yes, you own the copyright on code you publish on PerlMonks. (Unless your employer does!)

For a year or so, I've had a note on my home node clarifying the copyright and license for code I publish here.

The usual IANAL disclaimers apply.

package Cow { use Moo; has name => (is => 'lazy', default => sub { 'Mooington' }) } say Cow->new->name

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
