similar to: GPL as the main reason why Xapian might not get the widespread success it deserves?

Hi all, I'm wondering if the GPL-2.0 licensed mbedTLS (that's the version in OpenWrt) is 'compatible' with NUT binaries (not including the Python or Perl binaries which aren't used in OpenWrt) which is GPL 2.1+ AIUI. Because mbedTLS is the default library for OpenWrt and NSS is not yet in OpenWrt, and because OpenSSL is considered incompatible (I seem to recall reading that

Hi, I am maintaining a port of rsync (https://github.com/perlundq/yajsync) which is GPL:ed of course. The main purpose of the project is to provide a Java API library for the rsync protocol. It would therefore be really nice to be able to use LGPL as the license. But in order to do so I would first have to get a list of all the individual contributors to rsync and then be able to contact them

Found this code: ftp://ftp.samba.org/pub/unpacked/ntdb/lib/ccan/ilog/ilog.c Tests show that it's faster to use the following code in FLAC__bitmath_ilog2_wide(): static const unsigned char DEBRUIJN_IDX32[32]={ 0, 1,28, 2,29,14,24, 3,30,22,20,15,25,17, 4, 8, 31,27,13,23,21,19,16, 7,26,12,18, 6,11, 5,10, 9 }; FLAC__uint32 v; int m;

Care to send the URL? Here are some quick points that come to mind: 1. It raises the bar to contribution, because something must be “signed” before a

Hi Everyone, I’d like to start a discussion about how to improve some important issues we have in the LLVM community, regarding our license and patent policy. Before we get started, I’d like to emphasize that *this is an RFC*, intended for discussion. There is no time pressure to do something fast here -- we want to do the right long-term thing for the community (though we also don’t want

In my work with a simple localization plugin, i''m running into a lot of places in the Rails core, where text and other localization specific information is hardcoded. I''ve included some examples in the bottom of this post. It''s hard for an outsider to know, if the hardcoded values are a result of inconsistency in code, or "by design". I hope that we can have

libguestfs (an LGPLv2+ library) uses the 'hash' module, which turns out to be "GPL". Actually this happened because we started to use it in a separate GPL'd utility program, but later on included this functionality in the core library, copying the same code from the utility but not checking the license of 'hash'. We'd therefore like to request that

Hello, I would like to see Xapian used more widely in the PHP community. The major obstacle is that binaries of the PHP extension cannot be distributed. I've been reading earlier discussions on this and wonder if there's now an option. My starting points were https://trac.xapian.org/wiki/FAQ/PHP%20Bindings%20Package and the discussion at https://trac.xapian.org/ticket/191. One comment

Hello, i have a linux box which is acting as a lan router towards the internet doing traffic shaping. My link is 10Mbit/s full duplex. I have set some HTB classes with a rate of 20% (2Mbit/s) and a ceil of 95% (9.5Mbit/s). Is such an excursion of bandwidth in the HTB classes feasible for HTB to control? What Timer frequency (kernel menuconfig) is the most suitable among 250, 300 and 1000Hz

Hi all, I'd like to propose the contribution of a Go frontend subproject to the LLVM project, based on the existing llgo project at https://github.com/go-llvm/llgo . As with the previous contribution of the Go bindings, I have obtained permission from all llgo contributors whose code is part of this contribution, to contribute their changes to the LLVM project and relicense their changes

Hi, We've been working on an LLVM backend for the previous generation of AMD GPUs (HD 2XXX - HD 6XXX) and we would like submit it for inclusion in the main LLVM tree. The latest code can be found in this git repository: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~tstellar/llvm/ in the r600-initial-review branch or if you prefer you can download the entire tree with this link:
