Vb.net 的program可以apply GNU/GPL License 吗？

lp83

我用vb.net写了一个invoice system, 想apply GNU/GPL lisence, 可以吗？ 该如何apply呢 ？Apply过后是否可免费使用Mysql database server?

你有三个问题。

1。 用VB.net 写的程序是否可以apply GPL license ？
答案是可以。 但是如果你是用VB.net express 的话， 请读EULA ， 我记得里面写过不能写open source 的软件。

2。 该如何apply ？
在你的每一个源代码文件上， copy paste GPL license 。 记得写上copyright by ， 以保留你的copyright。


3。 Apply过后是否可免费使用Mysql database server?
据我所知， 如果在linux 上肯定没有问题。 如果在windows 上， 你需要上www.mysql.com 上查询。

记得 VisualStudio Express Edition 可以发布任何形式的成品，
不管是商业的、免费的，还是开源的。
不过在发布 .Net Framework 上就有限制。

你说的对，但是对开源的我记得有一个限制。


有一个我非常肯定的条文是， 开发出来的产品一定只能在Windows 上执行。 所以， 不能用来开发在Mono 或 WINE 或ReactOS 上执行的软件。

应该是可以的，不过谁有 VB Express 2005 的 EULA， 可以检查一下。

如果要小心的话，那就使用 SharpDevelop 吧。免费 LGPL 开源的 Visual Studio Alike IDE， 支持 C#/VB 包括 Mono 等等。

记得这些 VB.net Express 2005, Visual Studio, SharpDevelop 等等,都只是工具而已,要注意的是低下的 .NET Framework.

应该是没问题的，因为 .Net 的产品即使不用任何 IDE 也可以透过 .Net SDK 里的编译器来编译。
谁知道你用什么 IDE 呀，呵呵
倒是 .Net Framework 的发布，似乎有些限制。

这是 dotnetfx.exe 里的 eula
