What's the source of this code? Using an unsourced coupon code is is in the least ethically troubling - how do I know it wasn't intended to be private?

More practically, how do I know I'm /allowed/ to use it, and O'Reilly won't be within their rights to bill me the full amount later when they work out what's going on?

It's on their homepage. http://oreilly.com/

Ah. I take back any insinuations I made on anyone's ethics then!

A link to the page in the summary would have been a good thing to have though.

Once you've bought something, and assuming you don't opt out, O'Reilly email details of these offers to you - that's possibly where the OP heard about it. They seem always to be generally available via the home page.

Note that you can also subscribe to their RSS feed on these offers (beware: could be expensive)
