HN discussionI also gave it a try to create a central summary of several open source licenses and what to do. Without a search, but just a list of the licenses and todos, maybe you find it useful too: http://www.patrick-wied.at/blog/how-to-correctly-use-code-yo...

HN discussionYou're still sending the picture across the network to the screen in your most valiant attempt, but by using the inspector's resources, you can get a url link to the cat image[1].
