I am designing an application in C# and I want to use some Crystal Reports in my application. I am selling this application as freelance to a small business. This is my first program that I have ever sold. I have Crystal Reports 2008 that I am using to design reports with. Do I need to get any kind of licensing from Business Objects to i...
Is it allowed by the Boost License to just add the source code of the stuff I need to my project (accompanied by the license of course?). I couldn't find any "descriptive" confirmation. I would have seperate Include/boost and Source/boost directories for easy access. PS: Seeing as boost::filesystem is going into C++0x TR2, and lambda, r...
Hi, Is there a free version of IIS to demo ASP.net applications on that will run on XP? (i.e. or does one need a machine with Windows Server and it's license for a demo - e.g. if a prototype was built in VS2010 but one wanted to demo it on another PC) ...
I am developing a software to sell for business use but am willing to make it free and open-source for personal and educational use. Actually I can see the flowing requirements I would like the license to set: Personal and educational usage of the program and its source codes is to be free. In case of publishing of derivative works th...
Possible Duplicates: Use LGPL libraries in closed source software? Can LGPL licenses be used in our proprietary systems? I am working on a software project in my sparse time. I plan to make it a free software. I also plan to share the source code. But not open source, i.e., derived works based on my code are not allowed. C...
Software or real people can technically copy a BSD software, install it and sell it. What are technical and licence advantages and disadvantages compared to taking Linux or other 1003.1 and delivering or selling it? Which license is most flexible for instance when selling or delivering a computer BSD licence seems more flexible than Lin...
Hi, I'm interested to find out whether there are any standards or resources that you can recommend for developing license models in C#? Thank you ...
I have run into a situation where I wish to distribute code without a free software license, and don't have a lot of experience in doing so. First, let me make it clear I'm not trying to fight the piracy of the product. I don't believe in anti-piracy measures mainly because they will ALWAYS be circumvented if someone really wants to - ...
I would like to create a simple online service, that needs AdWords API access to do some keyword search. The subscribers of my service would have to provide their AdWords API developer key and token and so on .. to use all the features of my service. This way our server would connect to the AdWords API server, would collect all the nec...

Greetings, I understand that this is not the best forum for getting legal advices. But I am still wondering if anybody has some experience around this topic, or can point me to relevant resources that explain it. I have tried to search it online but could not find clear answers. Assuming I am using a Java open-source library from "some...
I'm working on a new licensing scheme for my software, based on OpenSSL public / private key encryption. My past approach, based on this article, was to use a large private key size and encrypt an SHA1 hashed string, which I sent to the customer as a license file (the base64 encoded hash is about a paragraph in length). I know someone co...
I believe I read that if you wanted to use Google's App Engine, your application needed to be open source. With the recent announcement of App Engine for Business, does the same rule apply? I would like to host an application on this particular platform but have no interest in releasing the code initially (down the road, potentially). ...
Hi, sorry for lengthy post, and thanks in advance for reading through it. I am developing software that should use licensing model which is I believe similar to per-seat licensing: There is a central licensing server, which approves/denies licenses Central server allows customers to purchase certain number of licenses at any given mo...
Ok this may be a foolish question, but I just want some clarification on this. If you build a website on a GPL licensed web framework, let's say a browser based game or some kind of kind of sophisticated web application are you required to redistribute all the code? If this is so what licenses would allow you to build on top of an opens...
Hi, Please advise, is there any web-based licensing solution, where I can generate registration codes, and validate them in the software by connecting to my licensing server? Thank you. ...
Hi, We're using XML Digital Signatures for signing and verifying our license keys. The signing works fine and has been running smoothly. The XML license file contains a few (plaintext) details about the license, along with a binary signature. We'd like to encode (I don't say encrypt) those plaintext details (license duration, user name...
If I publish my project now, with added license information, will the license still apply to the project if one goes back a few commits in the history to a state where I hadn't yet added any license information? Relevant answer This suggests that unless there is some license information available, no rights are granted. Is that true in...
Let's say I write some code, which we'll call X. It uses some GPL code, let's call it library Y. Clearly I would have to release X with a GPL license. That's fine. My question is, can I additionally release X under a license such as MIT, so that if someone only wants X but not Y they don't need to use it with the GPL? ...
I just joined an open source project on codeplex. The project is based on the .NET compact framework. So the development tool is Visual Studio. Currently I am using some trial version of Visual Studio which is going to end and I wondered how can I obtain a valid license to work on the project without spending a lot of money. Please pay a...
