As I understand the wording of the license, to include part of the code in your work you must a) reproduce the copyright statement b) reproduce the license text Since you are also operating under BSL, b) is already fullfiled, so you only need do the a) part, possibly in the form of a comment above the pasted snippet with the original copyright notice.

Since you are also operating under BSL, b) is already fullfiled, so you only need do the a) part, possibly in the form of a comment above the pasted snippet with the original copyright notice.
What if it is not a 1-to-1 copy of the code, e.g. I use a solution of a problem or a class design (but with minir changes)? Regards, Oliver

IANAL, but this seems to me to fall under the "derivative work" definition, subject to the same limitations as pure copy&paste. Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo

IANAL, but that's what's known as a "derivative work," and is subject to the same terms. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
