Question:  If I code up an algorithm I find in a magazine and
distribute my implementation, can I put the distributed code
under the GPL?

All thru the documenation I explicitely say where I got the
idea for the code, but I just want to make sure that I won't
be infringing on some right of the author of the article.

thanx for any help in this matter.
