Java licensing for commercial distribution

I'm thinking of using Java to write a program that I might try to sell one day. I'm new to Java so I have to ask, what types of tools/software/etc will I need (from development, to distribution, to user-friendly installation on users' machines) that have licenses that must be considered to make sure they allow sales and closed source co...

How should I use this piece of open-source code with the BSD License attached?

I just found some nice open-source code at The Code Project and it's attached with the BSD License. Well, the article states in the end that the code is licensed under the BSD License.

I still have some questions about the BSD License usage

Let's say I'm doing this application where I include some class I found on the web with the BSD License attached. I know that this license allows me to modify the code and I have the need for it. Now, the BSD license states the year and the copyright holder name, let's say we are talking about some piece of code written by John Doe. 1)...

Where\How to store distributed configuration data

A single installation of our product stores it's configuration in a set of database tables. None of the installations 'know' about any other installation. It's always been common for customers to install multiple copies of our product in different datacentres, which are geographically far apart. This means that the configuration infor...

Difficulties with iPhone ad-hoc distribution for testing

I'm attempting to do an ad-hoc distribution of my (first) iPhone App to a small group of volunteer testers. I've looked through Apple's documentation, as well as a number of blog posts, but am still having trouble. I have a couple questions about things that aren't clear (to me, at least): When creating Development and/or Distribution...

Distribution algorithm for given set of numbers and intervals

I'm in search of an algorithm, which can handle the problem described below. I already have written an algorithm (which is too specialised to post, I think), optimised as much as I could think of, but on larger sets of numbers it still is too slow (as the costs rise exponentially). The solution should take no longer than 5s on a decent c...

I have a given number of boxes in a specific order and a number of weights in a specific order. The weights may have different weights (ie one may weigh 1kg, another 2kg etc).

Algorithm for spread-out 2D point distribution

In a 2D pixel array, I need an efficient algorithm that will select p% of pixels that are the most spread out. This can be done adaptively by selecting points, then repeatedly adjusting the positions of points that are too close together. But this isn't efficient since it would require many iterations and distance calculations. It doe...

What server performance issues do low-bandwidh clients cause?

Hi I have a project to distribute large files to clients, some of which certainly will have low bandwidth (ISDN or DSL class). The system is interactive, with clients pulling data from the server. Just curious what kind of performance issues I can expect will be imposed by these lower bandwidth connections when compared to a client wi...
