Abstract
In this paper we present some observations of programmers citing and attributing copied code via comments in their source code. We see this as an example of a broader collaborative fabric which is woven into software development today, which is perhaps changing the notion of collaborative software development, broadening it from the narrow scope of collaboration within teams or within and between organizations, to a model more akin to scholarly and academic publication. Conceptualizing collaboration in this way draws in many more concepts from Library and Information Science, which we argue pose novel and exciting avenues for future research.
