Nonsense -- if someone posts something with a copyright, you can have a
copy, but you cannot republish it or claim that it is your own.  By
posting to the net, it is clear that net redistribution is OK.  What
would not be OK would be to remove the Copyright notice and sell it as
your own.

I always give away any software I write, but I also copyright it so that
it can't be ripped off -- I include a notice that free distribution is
permitted, but not incorporation in a commercial product.
