Code used in commercial products
-
I was bored this afternoon so I decided to do a vanity search on my own name. Just to see what was out there as my only web presence is here on the Code Project web site. One thing I did find was this page[^] on the Oracle website for a product called Oracle Documaker. I have no idea what that product is or what it does. But apparently it contains code from Chris Maunder, Shaun Wilde, The Ultimate Toolbox, and myself; all from here on Code Project. I know the licensing allows for that and I have zero problem with them using my code. I am just really curious which code of mine they thought worthy enough to use in their app. Is there any way to find out as it is just simple curiosity and nothing more. Within you lies the power for good - Use it!

Easy to search for one's name on the web when yours is a unique name on the web. I also have one credit to my name on a [Samsung Webcam user manual (PDF download)](https://www.networkwebcams.co.uk/downloads/samsung-wisenet/samsung-wisenet\_xrn-810s\_user-manual.pdf). But it did not state which library of mine it is using. So naturally I am curious like you.

It does state which library they used. Your name is listed on page 92 as using the microsoft public license. Page 85 lists Minima and Text Designer Outline Library as using the Ms-PL. And I know you have several articles on text outlining. It must be Outline Text With DirectWrite[^] as it is the only one with the Ms-PL license. So congratulations to you. Within you lies the power for good - Use it!

Wow, you have sharp eyes. Thanks!

I only have an article, some simple additions to MFC-List from Simon Hughes. It got in a couple of comercial products back then too, beyond the ones I wrote myself (using Simon's class and my additions) for the company I was working for.
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
