I googled and came up blank - so it's time to test the good folks at SO again! :) Can anyone recommend an open source library (pref for .NET) that parses and calculates mathematical expressions? e.g. input expression = "2+(n-1)*4", parameter key/value n=2, output = 6. ...
Let's say you have published your work under GPL, but after some time you realized that it would be better to publish it under other, GPL incompatible license? What options do you have? Are you (or your team), as an author, allowed to simply change the license? Or do you need a permission from each contributor, each bug finder? I know ...
I'm implementing a video processing framework. Where can I get high quality free stock footage so I could use it to demonstrate functionality? The framework is open source, so I'd like the videos to be as well (I'm not charging for the final product, so I wouldn't want to pay for the videos either). ...
Hi there, I am looking for big(more than 100 MB) open source Java projects. Does Anyone know some? Note: I am marking this as community wiki, though i am not sure if it is correct. ...
I'm probably going to take some heat for this question. But I'd like to know how to address this problem. So here goes. I program (to different levels of competence - admittedly) in various languages. I have dabbled with C#, and it seems quite a nice language (reminds me A LOT of Java and C++). The problem is that I have what can only b...
Are there any JSR-315-capable servlet containers available besides the one in GlassFish 3? Neither Tomcat nor Jetty have stable versions that support the Servlet 3.0 API. ...
Hello :) I'd like to find applications written, for example, on the Microsoft Silverlight platform. However, popular search engines such as the one integrated into SourceForge only list the root language, such as C#, and say little about XAML or Silverlight. Does such a directory exist? ...
I've been working on a software product for quite some time (several years) now at a personal cost of approx $80,000 in terms of lost wages and business specific overheads (not including regular cost of living). The product itself (being vague here) is a business product that is designed to significantly reduce IT costs for certain type...
What are the advantages and disadvantaghes of using libcurl and libsoup? Which one is better to use for a HTTP operation where I have to send request to a server to get a response, and has a quick reaction time? TIA, Praveen ...
Hello I'm going to make a website for my band, and I wonder the best and shortest solution to make it. It would like a few pages, with boxes for example, as the iGoogle page, with image, sound, text or video content in it. I've seen joomla and wordpress, for example, but i'm lost between the number of existing extentions and theme. Do...
For a given word I'd like to find the n closest misspellings. I was wondering if an open source spell checker like aspell would be useful in that context unless you have other suggestions. For example: 'health' would give me: ealth, halth, heallth, healf, ... ...
Hi, I have a program, let's name it a.out, that reads input from a file and writes some output to stdout. For example a file contains the line 2,2 and my program "./a.out file" writes 4 at the screen. Now in order to be sure that a.out works well after the patch, I am looking for a good regression suite for Linux. I want for every fil...
I am currently investigating open source .NET based solutions for an learning management system (LMS), but am hitting a huge wall. Most folks seem to recommend DotNetSCORM, but not only is their site down for maintenance, but code files I found for it from SourceForge and CodeProject seem to be for old alpha/beta builds. What solutions ...

While I'm getting a basic understanding of the syntax, I want to find a small, but well designed opensource C++ project, in which I can learn some d...
I've been trawling through many pages about software licensing and it's a real brain-beater. Legal stuff just isn't interesting, although I do know that I must release my code under a license, otherwise I'd just end up with problems later on down the road. So I've just finished a rich web-based media manager, and I'm getting around to r...
A lot of Android apps are open source, but how can we make sure the person who finally uploads to the Google Market does not include some spyware just before uploading? Background: Mobile apps security seems to be a growing concern, and I would like to reassure the users of my Open Source Android app. Solutions that require to modify th...
I made some open source contributions to existing projects in form of patches(which were eventually accepted). But I don't understand how this occasional contributions can be a good thing when looking for a job.. Most likely that your customer won't look for patches in different places. For me, it looks like OSS contributions can be he...

HI After reading some posts here on StackOverflow.com I decided to start studying code from other developers to improve my coding skills. I'm looking for a open-source software that uses MVC pattern, and also most design patterns possible.

I am building a 'software as a service' website that will be charging users a small monthly fee. I am considering changing the Github repository over from Private to Public. Essentially open sourcing it. Is this suicide? I would like the community to be able to benefit from the code. It is unlikely that I will accept any push request so ...
