I have produced some open source software, released under the GPL, and intend to give users the opportunity to send me donations if they wish. It has occurred to me that since the open source license allows anyone to amend the software, someone could change the 'donate here' message displayed by the app to point to their own website/PayP...
First of all, I reviewed this question, but I think I need a little more information since I've never worked on an opensource project before. I'm starting an opensource project, currently hosted on Google code. It is a framework for creating flash games in ActionScript3 (programmer oriented). So far, so good, but I want to start buildin...

What would be a good way to coordinate development on an open source project? (It is a Python project.) I know the traditional way is mailing lists, but I don't like it. I don't want to make people get e-mails about the project all the time. They should be able to participate only when they wish. Also, mailman sucks. I considered Googl...
Hey guys, I've been tasked with finding a way to log every outgoing request from one of our servers. It cannot be a proxy or firewall of any kind. It simply needs to sit in memory and watch the outgoing traffic and log what it sees. I'm going to be building metrics on this later and it needs to be free/open source. I've done some googl...
Situation: I want to pick a license for an open-source project. Having considered GPL vs BSD/MIT, I prefer GPL because it protects the open-source-ness of software. However, I prefer something less restrictive. I'm particularly amused at the fact that different versions of GPL are not compatible!! I want the software to stay FOSS, ...

Are there any open source packages avaialble for me ...

I have an idea for an open source app -- the app would be free, but I would charge a small fee for data that a customer would order. For instance, let's say I'm writing a map application. I'd give the app away, make it open-source, but I would like to sell various maps to individual users. Is there a way to protect the data in such a wa...

This may sound like a foolish question or an observation, but i have seen that most of the times when one tries to look at the opensource code, there are no comments or just one or two lines at the start of the function telling what the function is used for e.g. register a user or data in table etc. There is no code which actually explai...
I'm currently designing a shopping cart based jewelry site. I've tried the latest version of dashcommerce but it's very buggy and I keep not being able to get it to work quite right.
