Does it make any sense to contribute to KDE lately, now that all that's "cool" is being moved in the cloud?

Hello. I am new to the world of open source so please answer accordingly! I have seen many licenses in use, like GPL, MIT, Apache license. Of course I don't want to be a lawyer, but having at least a basic knowledge of all these would be helpful. So where do I start? Do I simply read up these licenses? Or is there a book/ website out ...
Can I use OSS software binaries (including gcc/mingw,perl,python,cygwin?) to develop our own (commerical, close-source) program, no open-source code will be built in or even used. For example, can I use perl to build a simple auto-incremental-compile daemon, and not distribute the code back to the public in any form. It seems impossibl...

I need to come up with a solution for complicated file transfer. I can do this, but I want to know if anybody knows of an open source solution that already does 90% of what I want to do. The requirements are very odd. Don't try to understand them, they are a hellish mixture of politics, territory, and bureaucracy. I control two serve...

I'd like to display MRTG traffic graphs for a dozen WAN links on a wide screen for our help desk, highlighting a graph when utilization exceeds a % threshold.

I am a CS noob and as an assignment I was told to analyze Gecko's source code and measure its coverage. But I am unsure of how to do this. I downloaded the source code, however it comprises several hundred files and I can't imagine that he would want us to look at each one. Is there a particular file(s) that I must examine to accomplish ...
I am looking for realistic examples of immutable classes developed in Java. In order to allow finding those classes which are intended to be immutable, it would be helpful if the code used an @Immutable annotation, or otherwise documented classes as intended to be immutable. I also need to be able to study the source code of those classe...

I've already done some work in OpenCV related to aligning and ghost removal (no actual HDR manipulation or creation yet), and now I would like to be able to start working with HDR images. Can anyone recommend a good open source HDR library that would idea...
This isn't a question about why XML is used for configuration files. My question is why, when XML is used for configuration files, there's no accompanying schema. log4net is a good case-in-point. You can configure it programmatically, but it's preferred that you use XML. Fine, but then why does it have to be so hard? In Visual Studi...

For orchestration steps, would prefer to avoid some of the hard coded xml file solutions that are out there. Not BPEL; as the workers are not soap services. I was thinking of something a bit more dynamic such as defin...
