This is quite the grey area. If your script copies small bits of itself, then that likely constitutes fair use... which is notoriously fuzzy. The thing to do, I believe, is to put different licenses on different files. Put the quoted bits under CC0 or MIT, and collect them to a single file. Put the rest under GPL in other files. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-support" group.
