I suppose when you (i.e. programmers in general) "borrow" that base code for a new project from other open source site(s) available around the web,... that belongs to you as well then.

While there are some programmers who've developed their OWN stuff from scratch (i.e. every bit written by them). Many others simply pull from other open source available programs, make some minor changes, and call it their "own".
