I'm using a BSD API to build my own API and I'm wondering if there is any restriction when I will release my own API in term of license choice, packaging, distribution ... I'm also curious about what do you guys think is the better way to pay homage to the API that we use : documentation citation, code source citation ... To summarise...
I know this is not exactly a programming oriented question but I'm looking for audio pronunciations for english words. I would like to be able to use this library for commercial purposes so I'm wondering if anyone knows of a good open source library or one with a license that allows one to use it commercially. The audio format doesn't re...
I'm working on converting the codebase of an "open-source" project to something that will actually work. I put the term in quotes because what the original authors did was take a commercial product and say "OK, we've made enough money off this now. Here's the source code. Do whatever you'd like to with it." Unfortunately, the codebas...

I am working on an open-source project, and part of it is licensed under a permissive license written by the original developer. The license is very short and not very detailed. Moreover, it doesn't appear to be compatible with the license the rest of the project uses. I would like to ask the original developer to relicense the code und...

I have a fairly good understanding of individual OSS licenses, but I always have trouble when I want to use code under different licenses. BSD vs. Ms-PL, Apache 2 vs. GPLv3 etc. Is there some sort of "mating chart" that lists which licenses are compatible with which ones? ...

I have a project in a course at the university that requires various Matlab functions. My version of Matlab is supplied by my workplace, and it doesn't have some of the toolboxes that are required for the project. Is there some repository of such implementations anywhere?

Hi! I am very new to web development and the use of Open Source. I have tried to read about the GPL, BSD, MIT, LGPL licenses, but cant seem to understand what they mean to me in real life. I am asked to develop a web based application for a customer. My agreement with them is that they pay a fixed fee for my development of the applica...
I've found something cool which I'd like to use in my project. Because I'm a pro and earn money with programming, I consider my own little project also to be "commercial". So this cool lib I have in mind has an "MIT-style license". Is that one something similar to GPL? Or more restrictive? Or less restrictive? It's an javascript library....
There are quite a few issues when you open source an existing website, and I'd like to see how how others have tackled this before. Are there some good examples out there of web applications, which have a public source code repository? These are issues I have in mind: Handling sensitive data: salt keys, database connection info, etc.I...
For a pet project, I develop a desktop application which requires API keys from several different webservices. I've been going through and preparing this application to become open-sourced and run across the problem of what to do with those keys. The problem is this: My understanding is that these API keys should not be visible to any...

What is...

I'd like users to be able to rate those posts and make comments on them. I'd also like to b...
Hiring managers keep saying they want "open-source expertise". What do they mean? Do they want someone who contributes to open source projects (i.e. Spring, Hibernate, MySQL etc.) Or someone who implements those technologies into systems? In all likelihood they want both, but is it okay if to say I have "open-source expertise" if I've i...
Hi, I am looking for documentation on how to commonly do the technical part of publishing the source of first open source projects, in particular with library-intensive stuff in C/C++, Java, Python. To give an example, if I built a C++ project with an IDE like Netbeans and various libraries like Xerces-C and Boost, I would like to find...
I'm developing a user-generated content site. Note it's not a blogging system, forum, wiki or any of those shrink wrapped things. It'll have it's own specific forms and content niche, so I'd like the power to tweak everything basically. The method of authenicating users will likely be 3rd-party ie open id, facebook, twitter, etc. So ...
I'm starting a small open source project, myself being the sole contributor for the time. Still, I think a continuous integration setup would be useful to detect whether I broke the build. Is there a free, hosted continuous integration server that is suitable for very small projects? Googling turned up CodeBetter, but I'm not sure they'...
