Hi TrapD, it's not clear if you had permission for the use of the Prolog Y combinator code? --Paddy3118 09:43, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

I think that that excerpt would qualify for fair use, at least in the U.S.A. (This site is educational, and non-profit, the quoted material is but a small part of the entire work, and the idea that this quote would devalue the book seems absurd). --Rdm 11:32, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

The site is not non-profit. That'd cost too much to set up and maintain. --Michael Mol 14:01, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

That is ironic, but I still think we should be ok on the legal front. When I look at the reference page, the amount of overlap with the prolog y-combinator is vanishingly small, and this site is not going to be doing any harm to the publishers of that book. Unless I am missing something big, it would be difficult to support an assertion that the publishers of that book can have any rights to something so small and algorithmic in character. --Rdm 14:52, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
