What was your C++ question? We're not lawyers (well, other than C++
language lawyers).

As a real C++ programmer he might be employed by a company which have a
whole division of lawyers that takes care of those things.
If you want to know what a licence allows or disallows all you have to
do is read it, they are usually not that long or hard to understand. Or
you could just google a bit or look at Wikipedia and you would find that
APL2.0 is not a copyleft license.

Beside C++, I also know a bit about cooking but nobody has asked this
topic here (yet).
For your question, you might want to read "Open source & Free software
licensing" by Andrew M. St. Laurent. It is released under Creatice
Commons and can be found at: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/osfreesoft/book/
There is a whole chapter about Apache licencing.

sorry if the topic does not fit here at all, but i thought c++ ppl
knows about incensing issues (mostly opensource ones) as well. (well i
also know a little about it, atleast the overall picture)
BTW, the link to the book was having all the information i needed.
thanks a lot for the information.

Hi!
I noticed that many packages in the PyPI are using the PSF License.
Does this have a special reason? Is this the common "standard" license
for Python libraries?
I'm just asking because I'll release some bigger pieces of Python code
to the Open Source Community. In my many projects before I just used
GPL or LGPL. This didn't have a special reason. They are just standard
OS licenses. I could also have used the BSD License, but I...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
