No, this is not the code from that site. The code is similar, but I see
you have
at least removed some empty lines. If you are going to do so, you need to
clearly present said changes to the community - something like "adapted
from
http://..."; or "modified from http://...";, etc.
Software copyright - even open source license is serious, and you should
give it
due respect.
he was not providing a full functional code, not claiming ownership,
just highlighting the key calls.
It seems to me that you are barking to the wrong tree.
