I love code reuse!

However...

License matters.

Control matters (what if I need to make a change to fit a certain scenario? How does that happen? Is it propagated upstream? How/when?)

Searchability matters. How do I know what I am looking for, especially across domains and companies?

We though we may be able to actually show the license type as well. However keeping it simple to start with and just track new ideas/improvements.

The Code Seeker feature would not actually apply changes, it will allow you to import into whichever IDE you are using and the mechanism or VCS you currently use will still apply. Does this make sense or am I not understanding the Control matters part?

Indexing and Searchability are going to be interesting to implement. I use IntelliJ and Rubymine and at times the indexing is too heavy handed and they are only indexing the current project.
