I am trying to write a Windows Form and ASP.NET C# front-end and MSAccess backend for a pretty small database concept I have. I have written this application once before in just MSAccess but I now need the app and database to be in different places.

I'm hoping for a Java...
I keep hearing that Flex is open source and I figured that a great way to learn about the inner workings would be to look at it.

Have I misund...

What open-source / public domain software is there "out there" for conversion between Latitude/Longitude, UTM (Universal Transform Mercator) and MGRS (Military Grid Reference System)?

I've been developing GPL'd software for years, but now I need a more restrictive license. This is for a commercial application, and I want to share my source code with the whole world, regardless of whether they've purchased the application from me or not.
