xtremey_ytinasni Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Is it a good idea to reuse say a database file someone else made, or should you try to make your own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfcry Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Generally one can simplify it by asking themselves, "Do I trust this code / file and those who are distributing it?" If not, then make your own. If yes, then use it. You also have to make sure that if you do use code someone else wrote, make sure it doesn't have security exploits, intentional or not and never forget to give credit where credit is do.

Muddy_Funster Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 also check for copyright and usage agreements - lots of people who write code look for financial compensation from other people who want to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
