Howdy How How!

Hey there Jude,

Although we do appreciate your contribution, we unfortunately only permit open source software to be posted in these forums currently. If you would like to post the source, feel free to throw that download link back up along with the source. Otherwise, I'm afraid we simply can't allow it yet. There will be a point in the future when we do allow closed source software, and I hope it's approaching soon but I really have no idea. Also, is it safe to assume your software is portable? Otherwise this might just appear to be blatant self-promotion... though I assume it is portable being posted here.

Sorry about that, and I hope you'll either post the source (if interested, of course) or just hang around until a point when we do allow it. Furthermore, the most important note I should make is that repackaging the software without the authors permission (assuming you're not the author) is illegal near 100% of the time.

Sorry Bout that

Sorry bout that. Don't really know the diff between open source and freeware. i'll try and contact the author of the software. and i'm having trouble with the installer when i compiled and run then install the software and double click the launcher it opens my usb drive.

Long story short - and there

Long story short - and there are a lot of exceptions - freeware generally means it's free to use, but not necessarily free to change or share again. Open source generally means it's free to change and share under the same license, but open source doesn't have to be free and freeware doesn't have to be open source.

PortableApps.com deals with FOSS - Free, Open Source Software - released under an OSI (Open Source Initiative) license. OSI is just one licensing organization; Creative Commons is another you may have heard of (the Wikis prefer CC). OSI-approved licenses let JTH & co. modify the apps to run more smoothly with the PortableApps.com Platform and also to host them on SourceForge, which only allows such software.

It's interesting to know that there are a lot of licenses out there. As an end-user, they all seem to mean the same thing. You ask a freeware license, an OSI-approved license, a Creative Commons license, and a customized license (e.g. the Nethack License) if you're free to download it and use it for personal use and they all say yes (provided they could talk). However, you go asking about altering the code and redistributing them, they're all going to have slightly different answers. By picking once licensing platform (in PA.c's case, OSI) they can carefully adhere to a single set of rules and it's easier for everyone to be on the same page.

If anyone more knowledgeable finds any faults with this post, please let me know. I'm still learning, myself.
