This comment made me realise that I think about inline code and linked files very differently.

Code:
If I post some code on the forum like this,
then I'd fully expect someone to copy/paste
code from a comment like this, without
attribution or anything else.

Often I've posted it to explain something,
or as a favour, so that's kind of the point.
However, code that I post/link from the Stash or GitHub is different in my head. For example, if someone reached into my GitHub and copy-pasted half of one of my effects (not just copy the concepts), then I'd feel... yeah, that's not really polite to do without asking.

I don't have a legal basis for this, although intuitively I feel that the "intended use" of such code is different.
