Am I allowed to incorporate this code into my program and still be eligible for the Compo, or would I need to restrict my self to the Jam if I did? The code is licensed to allow free reproduction, but I’m not sure of the specific rules concerning sample code like this – do I just need to declare it as with personal code, does it full under ‘publicly available libraries’ or is it not allowed altogether?

Thanks in advance
