licensing

I know this question has been asked before for earlier versions of Visual Studio Express (2010 and 2008) However I have not found a concrete answer for the same for Visual Studio Express 2012. I plan to make some small pure C# applications which does not include any other third party libraries. This question talks about 2010 version and VS 2012 RC but not Visual Studio Express 2012 which was released later on. The answer to this question provides a link to an FAQ that does not exist right now. It gets redirected to a page where you can download the latest VS 2012. After some digging I was able

Just been looking at the threading building blocks, and as their license, they say it's the GPLv2 with the runtime exception . On the Intel page itself they say that the commercial license is the right one if you need commercial support. So what's the deal if I'm doing a commercial, closed source application which uses the TBB, but I don't need commercial support? Can I still use the open source version, or is this a case where I have to buy the commercial one? After all, I assumed that I can use the libstdc++ in a commercial application without restrictions (i.e. link against it). I believe

This question already has an answer here: Is there a unique Android device ID? 45 answers I would like to be able to generate unique serial numbers for each Android device for use in unlocking an application. How could I do this? EDIT: The reason is I want to revamp a paid application and provide users who have paid for the old version, which will have a different package name, a way to obtain the full version by downloading an unlockable free version of the application. I would push an update to the old version that would generate and display the code that they could enter to turn the Free

I am currently working on a license manager using java, I will be specifying a start and end date for my application so I can force a licensed user to re-license the program after a certain amount of time. But the problem I am facing is that any one can roll-back their system date and time in order to maintain the validity of license. Is there any way in Java to detect the system date and time is changed. I have already tried Network Time Protocol to get the current date and time from a time server. You likely are storing a license file on the system. a) include the time that the software was

I'm trying to audit a Python project with a large number of dependencies and while I can manually look up each project's homepage/license terms, it seems like most OSS packages should already contain the license name and version in their metadata. Unfortunately I can't find any options in pip or easy_install to list more than the package name and installed version (via pip freeze). Does anyone have pointers to a tool to list license metadata for Python packages? You can use pkg_resources : import pkg_resources def get_pkg_license(pkgname): """ Given a package reference (as from requirements
