how do I tell which EULA applies to the code I wish to use?
-
I'm new to codeproject ... I've found an article with some source code that I'd like to use as a starting point for my own project ... I see the "Terms of Use" link and click it ... and there is another link in there that says to be sure to read the EULA that applies to the code I wish to use ... and that the author would have selected an EULA when s/he upload the code ... but how do I find which EULA the author used? Thanx for any help. adam BTW: The article in question is here: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/shell/ietoolbartutorial.aspx[^]

Most articles aren't covered explicitely by any EULA so you need to contact the author directly (or read his article and code carefully) to find out. We'll be doing a EULA push in the next few weeks to try and get authors to supply us with a license they wish their articles to be covered by

Be sure to include the 'public domain/free for all use' option. In fact my article is pretty much abandonware now - I never fixed it for the 2007 Daylight Savings changes. I think I made it fairly clear that it was relying on some undocumented behaviour. EDIT: Reviewing the available licences, CPOL is pretty close to what I want but to be honest I don't even care if I'm attributed any more. In fact I'd almost rather not! (the link on http://www.codeproject.com/info/Licenses.aspx[^] is broken though, I think you've omitted the http: scheme so the browser thinks it's a relative URL).

please don't call it EULA.

Consider the ISC license[^] or another common Open Source license[^]. Don't create yet another license (like e.g. Boost).

They'll have to, 'cause 'none of the existing licences are well suited to online publishing' I wish there wasn't another one, but the drafts I've seen are not to bad.

Do you pronounce that as E U L A ? or as Yula? or as Oila?

Please don't confuse a EULA (End User License Agreement) with a "Source Code License". They are not the same thing at all. A EULA licenses a user to use a piece of software in it's binary form, while a Source Code License licenses a developer to include another developers code within his own program.
-- Where are we going? And why am I in this handbasket?

Just using the nomenclature of the codeproject Terms of Use[^] page (see the section labeled "FOR USERS OF CODE") ... whatever you want to call it, the page says that one is supposed to be associated with the code when it is uploaded to codeproject ... but apparently that feature is not yet implemented ... so I'll have to try to track down the original author. adam
