Plagiarism, pretending you made a work entirely yourself when you didn't, is rarely a matter for a court to decide and the standards for what constitutes plagiarism can vary a lot. When I turn in projects for a course, a cite sources in the comments a lot, even if what I turn in is substantially modified. An employer generally doesn't care if you copied and pasted code from StackOverflow or wherever, so long as you don't expose them to a suit and you don't lie if asked "Did you write this 100% yourself?" Citing your source is not a get out jail free card for copyright infringement, it doesn't really matter. |

No, but it's a requirement of the license stackoverflow.com uses, which is unfortunate, for code (as opposed to text, where a quote can be easily attributed).
