Re: Ethics 101: To re-use or not to re-use?

I am convinced that rewriting software is now bad and copy and paste is good (tongue in cheek). Now the fact that I am a builder I can use the same reasoning for using a new drive base that our students have spent all summer and fall fixing and building. Why should we have to rebuild an already good working unit? I would even say that because the students built it that it has more validity than coping someone else's software.
