Is it ethical to copy comments from someone else's code (documentation)?
Here is a question. Suppose there is a language X and there is an open source library in this language. Suppose I wrote in the Y language some analogue of this library, which differs in giblets from it, but a similar API sticks out. How ethical is it to just copy part of the documentation comments (in style, the function starts the sepulary, the parameter such and such sets the level of sepulation)?
