But of course I need to se the runtime license so it will load on other machines. I'm stuck on how to set the runtime license. I have imported the COM object ...
What I mean is that it's open source in that the source is viewable, modifiable, and redistributable by anyone, but changes do not have to be contributed back (as is the case with GPL)? I've heard the traditional software licenses are problematic for web applications as well. I believe I want the web equivalent of the Apache license, bu...

I've implemented the android licensing in my application following the example code using the ServerManagedPolicy. The licence checker works fine, however when a device or emulator has no data connection then the licensing code will always return dontAllow(), while I want it to allow. I cannot seem to find anything on the page above tha...

I won't modify FFTW and I won't distribute the code to an end customer of mine. However, I will place my software application back-end on a server that client computers access over the Internet. All of the mate...

I want to use JavaMail for a closed-source, commercial project on the server-side of an email service, which offers email functionality to our customers. So, am I allowed to use JavaMail or do I have to pay a license fee or release my code under an open-sourc...

Hi Guys, I'm currently publishing my simple PHP framework in GitHub. Do I need to make/apply for any License Agreement/EULA (or any other legal stuff)? I'm not really particular if other people would use it. I just want to be credited(if there's some) and also have some disclaimers. The MIT license is pretty much what I need but I don'...
I have a program (Minitab 16) that is licensed, registered, and activated on a computer on my network, and I need to be able to run that program via remote desktop. I thought it would still run as it is still being used on that computer, but apparently it knows that I'm logged in remotely and will not run. Is there a way to do this? I k...

I find this code useful and want to copy-paste it into my application which is licensed as public domain. It is the Android blog, they often show useful code snippets.

Yesterday I was using google map web application but when I've turned into street view mode, one question arrived in my mind. For example, they blurred human faces and car plates. I was thinking that they didn't write all the code for this, because already are some free libraries which can do that. I know about the license types, but is ...
Assume you have a small collection of WebCMS assembled, subdirs in ~/www/test/ or so. And now you want to quickly/crude scan and detect the license in each project. Is there a simple grep/perl/regex scanner which can guess the used licenses? Doesn't need to be exact or reliable, just for getting a rough overview, and just needs to inspe...
I'm part of the UK Government's Directgov Innovate team. We are researching which open source licences are best applied to code produced for government and public projects. We're really keen to canvas as many opinions as possible. So, to get involved in the conversation comment on the original blog post here: http://innovate.direct.gov...
