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. But none of the source code files had any reference to the license, they have some copyright text though. The download also didn't come with some kind of ...
If I use GPL-licensed JavaScript components on my website, would it be considered as a release to the public (as client-side code of the components is loaded to users' browsers via http) and I have to "open-source" the whole website? So, can we say that the usage of JavaScript components on a website is distribution of the code and it...

I just found IE Collection, a multiple standalone IE installer (IE 1.5 through 8.0!) and it has been a great help for finding little rendering issues in my CSS. My concern is that our MCSE/IT guy says that it is a violation of Microsoft's redistribution rules. Am I breaking the rules by using it? Do others use IE Collection or other sta...
We are using recursive make in our project. We also use a commercial embedded compiler (diab) with a FlexLM license. We are currently adding license-borrowing as a dependency on the top-level targets in each directory. Like this: .PHONY: target target: borrow_compiler $(TARGETLIB) $(RETURN_COMPILER) .PHONY : borrow_compiler borro...

My company has licensed library A under its commercial license, and I've developed an extension to it, which we'd like to release (to github or whatever). However, we want the extension to be usable by all users of library A, inclu...

The software...
Hi, We are planning to develop a client server application using C# and MySQL. We plan to sell the product on the shelf like any other software utility.

I have been looking at whether our MSDN Premium Subscriptions would cover upgrading our developer’s machines from Vista OEM to Win 7 RTM MSDN. The assumption here is that "design, develop, test, or demonstrate" covers the developer’s day job, so should cover the OS. I have found that other development shops seem to make this same assum...
