Normally they'd have to manage information about these items on paper, but my application will let them do it on the phone. I want to sell my application by the number of items it supports. For example, I might charge $10 for the version that has...

For some of the functionality I need to modify portions of an expression tree and the standard method is using an ExpressionVistor such as this example/code sample fr...
Looks like if I publish code under GPL and someone wants to produce a derivative work and redistribute that derivative work they must also publish the derivative work under GPL. I understand that it can be problematic to enforce the license: enforcing the license might require significant resources from me - attorney fees, etc. the de...

However, something happens that prevents you from releasing the project, so it just sleeps on your ha...

For instance, jQuery provides their library under either the MIT or GPL license. What is the point of doing this? Also, I've seen http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1174271/what-happens-when-open-source-software-has-...

I checked out Atlassian Fisheye and its requi...
I have an idea for an application that is firstly totally sweet and secondly completely absent in the market. It is fairly simple, and I think it won't cut into my studies too deeply to write it. However, I would like to make some pocket money on this, so I've decided to ask my fellow programmers for some idea concerning licensing. First...
where do programs save their secret license or install related information? I notice that often times when you uninstall a program, clear out appdata references, check registries to make sure there is no residue of any relevant information. If you reinstall the trial program again, it seems to know it was installed before. I'm not looki...
