There is a lot of open source engines and software with different licences conditions. Most of them are non-free for commercial use. The question is what does "commercial use" exactly mean? Example: I have site where I propose paid service or software. I want to create blog or wiki section on it. I download appropriated open source pr...
Is there anything I could do to get my own open source stuff into Maven's Central repository? I've wondered many times how I could get my own projects into Maven's Central repository.

I'm writing a bunch of data out from a java application that gets consumed by the end user it could be to a file, console, or an arbitrary listener.

It seems that Django uses shared installed libraries alot and I'd like for folks to just need to download our latest version, unzip, edit a config file or two a...
I would like to develop a poker odds application that can give the probability of various game situations. Since the application will be mostly statistical analysis, I figured I would see if someone else had already written a library that implements the required mathematics. I would prefer cross-platform open-source in C++, but that's n...
I wrote an open source app (BugTracker.NET) and I host it at Sourceforge. It doesn't have a plugin architecture per se, but there are ways to tweak and extend it. For example, a prettier css file, or a useful SQL snippet. People ask me, "How can I share this with other BugTracker.NET users?" and so far I've just been telling them to ...
I am looking for some interesting dynamic analysers to use and report on for a university assignment. The tools should be: Open-source (so I can learn from them) Free (both as in speech and beer, because I want to be able to share the results, and I'm tight-fisted, respectively) Intended for Java (source or bytecode) This includes, b...

I recently have a client comes asking me as a C#/.NET dev for reasons about why I have not picked any of the "wave of the future" frameworks out there like Rails/Django and instead choose "proprietary software" from M$ to build his website. Frankly, I love all the open source stuff. But seeing non-technical people bugging me for reasons...
It's a small application, named Simon Basic Edition, and it is in the Apple Apps Store top 100 in Games > Kids. The first version is pretty basic, but I made a bunch of improvements in 1.1. which was submitted a week ago to iTunes Connect. Based on the same source, I have written another Simon Cards Edition which is also waiting for th...

I'm intending to use the Ms-RL for a project on CodePlex, but I'm not sure how far I should go in terms of how I actually use / embed it in the solution. Simply including the full licence text somewhere in each project is a given, as is appropriate usage in the project properties / assembly meta-tags; but would you go so far as to incl...

What's your way to learn an open source project if the project is poorly documented? Read source code? ...
Let's say I have an open project called Some Project. Would you recommend hosting the project site under someproject.com or someproject.org, and why? I realize that .org suits an open source project better, but I'm afraid that on longer term, I may want to (cough...) start making money out of it, and .org would become misleading, while m...
