licensing

I am trying to get license information of uninstalled deb packages. dpkg --info <package-name>.deb does not give that information. Is there any command in ubuntu which will give this info? (In rpm world rpm -qpi gives that info) There's no simple command that I know of. You can do something like this: dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile foo.deb |tar -xvO ./usr/share/doc/foo/copyright This prints the file to standard output. Edit Hmm, that sounds hard. After a quick perusal of the apt cache on my Debian system, I found some phrases that might be useful: "GNU General Public License" "the above copyright

I am interested to use http://www.phplicengine.com to protect my php code and license my php script but have no clue how good it is. is here a PHPLicengine user who may help me please? PHP code cannot be encrypted because at some point you have to eval() the string that will be producing the output.So there isn't a way to actually keep people from stealing your code if you let it get off your servers. For the most part, trying to protect the code is useless. People make money off of code by either A) Working for someone, B) Providing updates/support to only valid paying customers, or C)

I need some guidance on where to research further incorporating license key enablement for a WinForms application. That is incorporating those key concepts you see often such as: 30 day trial Need license key to unlock the application beyond this Possibly the ability to unlock power user functionality using this approach What is the normal approach people use to achieve this? Is it possible just using VS2008 Pro edition for example, or are there well known libraries that help out? Would be nice to think there were "client libraries" out there that let you incorporate this relatively easily

big explanation (better safe...), question in bold if you don't want to read it all. Thanks a lot for your help! I have an app with a ListView , and two custom XMLs. One is a single TextView, for the headers. The other has 3 TextViews and 3 ImageViews that represent the data. As most of you know, Jeff Sharkey already has a very clever (imho) solution ( SeparatedListAdapter ), which allows the class to work, without modifications, with ImageViews. Although it accepts String s, I can provide the valueOf of the drawable int resources, and it will figure it out. Great, see code and screen at end

What's the license of OS X Lion's /System/Library/Fonts/Apple Color Emoji.ttf ? In this posting Apple's Peter Edberg says: As previously stated, Apple would like to make the Apple Emoji font - and the glyphs therefrom - widely available using a license that makes it possible for anyone to change it as they see fit or to combine its glyphs with those from another font, without Apple acquiring any rights to such changes. The only conditions we want to impose are: a) The name "Apple Emoji" can only be used for the original unmodified font; if the font is modified or combined with another font,
