    Yes, exactly, and since it takes about 2 seconds, it is worth about 2 seconds of pay. This leaves a lot of developer time for doing something new, and a lot of customer money to pay him for doing it.

      No. You cannot copy/paste someone elses code, just because you think the same way of solving the problem. Copy/paste is infringement.
