Hello all, We're evaluating a couple of Python libraries for Graph manipulation. We tried 'networkx' (http://networkx.lanl.gov/) and 'igraph' (http://igraph.sourceforge.net/). While both are excellent modules, igraph is faster due to its nature - it's a Python wrapper over libigraph - a blistering fast graph C library (uses LAPACK etc...

I'm developing a .Net class library (a data provider) and I'm starting to think about how I would handle licensing the library to prospective purchasers. By licensing, I mean the mechanics of trying to prevent my library from being used by those who haven't purchased it, not the software license (i.e., Apache, Gnu, etc). I've never dea...

That is, it would find all the third party code used in a project and give their licenses (Apache, GPL, ...). Can anyone provide a link to such a program? ...
I'm planning to buy CryptoLicensing but before buying it I'd like to get some feedbacks if anyone tried it before. Also it'd be interesting if anyone cracked it or spotted an easy hack against it. I've seen some other SO questions regarding the choosing a .NET licensing component but if you currently happy with another component it'd be...

I'd like to use a blogging engine that's released under GPLv3, and I would like to customize it. The thing is, I don't know what this license means, in practical terms ( not free software, free beer terms ). Am I allowed to modify it? What am I not allowed to do ? Thanks ...
My company (EU-based) is considering to release some parts of our code under a free software license. We are going to ask lawyers, but firstly I'd like to ask what problems should we expect when doing that?

Say I am working on some application in my free time, with non-commercial purposes. Surfing around I find some sources from some developer that has created a parser for the type of data I am also working on. But his parser is way better than mine. I would like to copy it into my project, and modify it to suit my needs. It is licensed u...
