I've been quite surprised by free software models (after discovering postcard ware), so I thought it might be worth asking. I have an application I'm going to release as free software. However, in the case that I do not maintain it, or am unable to maintain it, it would be released as Open Source. Is there any kind of license like this?...
I have two distinct projects: The Program which I want to release under the GPL license. The Plugin API: Plugins are written using interfaces in this API, and The Program uses to the API to communicate with plugins. I want to release The Plugin API with the LGPL license. One problem is that I would not want plugins to have to revea...
As a Microsoft .NET developer I have noticed a marked increase in the number of new Open Source frameworks and software tools that directly impact how your design a software solution. So much so that if you don't happen to be talking to the right person at the right time you may miss a whole major development. I started to wonder if ther...

Hi, I'm relatively new to Python, but feel like I'm getting a good feel for it. I was wondering what would be some well documented open source projects in Python for beginners.

First of all this question is not intended to be a "subjective question". The actual specific question might be if being closed source (in web development for example) is a good protection measure. It was this article that got me thinking: http://techcrunch.com/2007/08/11/facebook-source-code-leaked/ Lets say you are quite a newbie to...

There are closed source tools which we will use if we must, but I thought as a last-ditch effort...
