I have translated many numerical math programs from FORTRAN into C++ and JavaScript. The original FORTRAN source code listings are posted on the NETLIB site and have been in the public domain for 20, 30, years. The C++ and JavaScript translations that I write are hand-coded, line-by-line, and repeatedly tested …

As a first part of really using Windows Azure I'd like to use C# running on Azure to verify the license code of a program I'm about to issue the upgrade for. I'm planning on porting the whole thing to the cloud, but to gain experience I'd like to license …

Hi, I started with C++ development recently, and I think I'm ready to start building GUIs for my apps. I'm thinking about using Qt, since it is the most popular C++ GUI library, but the licensing is really confusing, and there isn't a lawyer nearby that understands software licensing who …

I am using a DLL file as my license file for a VB.NET project and was wondering if there was a way to make it locked so notepad can't open it and edit the data stored in there. Thanks in advanced!

I've read lots of definitions of it, but I don't quite understand it. Let's say that I create new software that uses my own code and modified code from open source code that is licensed under the MIT License. When I sell my software, do I need to provide all …

The Software Freedom Law Center (SFLC) took aim at 14 consumer electronics companies for violating GPL licensed products. This is the largest lawsuit of its kind ever filed. This lawsuit uses what Richard Stallman calls "tivoization" as its defense. Tivoization, if you recall from my post, "[URL="http://www.daniweb.com/news/story240080.html"]Does Linus Torvalds Hate …

Seems every time I write a piece suggesting open source as an option, I get a couple of comments warning readers about the scary complexities of open source licenses. So I decided to ask a guy who knows free and open source (FOSS) exactly what the deal was regarding FOSS …
