i would understand the big games like Velgards Fate, Bombtastic, Arcade Classics, and any other game that gets alot of hits or games that seem pretty far enough to be called games and not just projects, but if its something like a pong or a tic tac toe or something, like an example or sample or whatever you wanna call it, it would be easy to just upload it to a site then make a quick thread.
its just the least thing i wanna do is sound like a business geek from microsoft (you know, the ones who make you have to log onto their website and read their TOS all every single time they update it, even if your just wanting to sync maybe just one thing?).

No one is going to think you're a "business geek from Microsoft" if you take the time to put a license on your game. If it's worth releasing, it's worth taking the 5 minutes to make sure everything is legit.
Just copy and paste what's in the box below into the top of each code file and change "filename.cs" to the actual name of the file. .zip that all up and add it to your post and you'll be good to go.
