licensing

I'm searching for a C++ and open source library to protect a commercial software again crack etc... Do you know one ? James Caccese I have a phrase I like to use for these types of situations: "You can't solve a social problem with a technological solution". If someone is sufficiently motivated to do something you don't like, you can't stop them. The harder you make it to do something, the harder they'll try to get around your barrier. In the end, the only way is to diminish their motivation, and that needs a social solution. Effectively preventing software from being cracked is an incredibly

The Action Pack (see here: https://partner.microsoft.com/global/40138499 ) seems to be incredibly good value if I am understanding it correctly. The price is $490 and if I'm understanding correctly it comes with 3x VS2010 Professional licenses, and on top of that, commercial use licenses for 10 Office 2010 Professional Plus users, 1x Server 2008 R2, 1x Exchange Server, heaps of CALS. Am I missing something here? It seems to be far to cheap. There are some restrictions for the MS Action Pack: Your company must have fewer than 100 employees Your company cannot hold a MS silver or gold competency

Regarding the following excerpt of this comment : AFAIK, it's fine to interact with GPL code over a network adapter. It's not normally OK (again, AFAIK) to have code that's more tightly coupled than that, particularly if your code can't function without the GPL code, but that's a gray area. So if I want to use a graphics library that's GPL (and not LGPL), could I decide to make it part of a graphics service

According to its homepage, the SemWeb library (great library for handling RDF under .NET) is released under GPL. Since the ROWLEX tool is built on SemWeb, ROWLEX supposed to be GPL, too. Still, ROWLEX is claimed to be released under L-GPL. Is this legally correct? Actually, your statement is not completely accurate. SemWeb is not just GPL but dual-licensed. The source code written by Joshua Tauberer is also

If I develop a GUI wrapper that only executes a GPL cli application (for the sake of argument, say tar ) must I release the GUI wrapper as GPL? Is it a derivitive work? If it is a derivative work what must I release? Both the GPL application and the wrapper will be distributed together IANAL. Quoting the mere aggregation section of the GPL FAQ (emphasis mine): An “aggregate” consists of a number of separate

I've implemented App-Licensing for InApp-Billing and now I'm getting Error.NOT_LICENSED and I have no idea what's wrong. The version I'm working on has not been published to the play store yet. This is the code I use to start the licensing-process: private void checkLicense(int retries) { if (retries != 5) { String publicKey = "YOUR KEY"; final CdcLicenseCheckerCallback callback = new CdcLicenseCheckerCallback(); String deviceId = mPrefsHandler.getDeviceId(); deviceId = deviceId != null ? deviceId : UUID.randomUUID().toString(); mPrefsHandler.setDeviceId(deviceId); Crashlytics.setBool("has

Hope the question above is clear. Now my case: For my package, i'm using several libraries (jars). Each library has been licenced under one of these: Apache v2, BSD or LPGL. Edit [some clarification] I have my own java classes packed in a jar. These import classes (dynamic linking) from the libraries mentioned here [End Edit] Question 1: Can i pack all these libraries in a single package? Question 1a: If yes, under what licence Apache, BSD, LGPL or any other? Question 1b: If yes, would it be enough to put all the library names in a NOTICE and to write under what licence is a library licenced

We are trying to offer a license mechanism for every feature our Linux application is running, and we are thinking of controlling it in a centralized way using a license server: Our aim for licensing is: Deny features the operator has not bought. Offer trials (features which expire if they are not bought). Activate features for periods of time, and make them available just for some period of time. Is there any
