I've concocted an open source license in my head that I feel is a good compromise between copyleft and permissive licenses. I think it extracts many of the benefits of copyleft with few of the downsides. Here's a rough draft of it. The spirit of it is that a company should be able to profit by adding value to open source software, but...

I need to build an "interactive floorplan" for a shopping centre (or two). Many shopping centre websites already have this (eg Bluewater in the UK) Traditionally, the way to build such a floorplan / map is to do it in Flash. The actual floorplan is a Flash asset and the data that describes which retailer is in each location is fetched ...
Hi, I needed an application for solving linear systems of equations (N up to 10), so I got different codes, and compile them, and they seem to work, but I get lots of problems with precision. I mean, the solvers are really very sensitive to small changes of the system. So, could somebody recommend to me a reliable commandl ine applicat...
Probably most of you use or have used open source/free software for your professional work. Personally I've been using free software tools on most of my jobs. I use free operative systems, IDE's and frameworks on my current job, and the idea is to give back to these projects somehow. Do you - or does your company - support free software...

I've made some modifications to SubSonic 3.0 in order to allow it to run on .Net Compact Framework 3.5, as well as use more complex entity-table mapping and entity tracking (so it's more like Linq-to-SQL). I'd be interested in contributing these back to the project, but I don't find any documentation on how to contribute to the project, ...
Is there an opensource library/package available that we could use to parse an xHTML/css file into wxPython layout instructions (inside a larger python program)? For the Pythics project, we need a better parser than the one written by our primary programmer, but his attempts to improve it are both making things better (stops ignoring CSS...

I've recently discovered the CRiSP editor from one of my clients and was very impressed by its versatility. Does anyone know of an open source implementation? I've only found commercial versions by googling. As for what features crisp has that I haven't seen in other editors is the facility with which it handles multiple windows, abili...

I'm currently looking at Prestashop, that uses an OSL 3.0 open source license. That license requires you to share the code even with users (so it plugs the famous "asp hole"). My question regards to it's plugin architecture for modules. Would the OSL 3.0 license apply also to modules, or it wouldn't be considered part of the distributio...
I am considering doing a rewrite of an open source project from LAMP to J2EE and integrating it with an enterprise oriented CMS as the GUI. The two most viable OSS ECM J2EE CMS platforms that I have run across are Alfresco and Nuxeo. I need to get into some deep integration with whatever CMS I pick. Which one of these two technologies (...
