OK, so compatible with GPLv2, but not compatible with GPLv3.
No wonder people are using the Apache license!

GPLv3 is dated 29 June 2007, the link in my previous post was published on Mar 11, 2009
I suppose EUPL updating is a lengthy process, which is not bad in this case

For historical reasons, the GNU GPLv3 is not (like the GPLv2) mentioned in the list of “EUPL compatible licenses”.
As long there are no concordant requests from EUPL users, this situation will probably not change.
The EUPL downstream compatibility works as a FLOSS exception list: while the EUPL is copyleft regarding the covered software, it is permitted to license under a compatible license a larger derivative work, including the covered software and another software received under this compatible licence (i.e. the GPLv2).
However, any EUPL licensor may, owning full copyright on software, extend the exception to the GPLv3. Publishing such FLOSS exception lists is a frequent practice to improve interoperability when a component is licensed under copyleft conditions.
See Oracle / MySQL using the GPLv2 http://www.mysql.com/about/legal/licensing/foss-exception/ ) or Sencha using the GPLv3- http://www.sencha.com/legal/open-source-faq/open-source-license-exception-for-applications/).

I can't be as specific as I'd like to be as the site is going bonkers at the moment. I just saw a JavaScript article called something like "Simple and Useful Tutorial on Regular Expressions in JavaScript". I clicked the radio button to give it a 3 vote, a textbox popped up, and I started typing. Took me about 5 minutes to complete my thoughts. I then clicked "Vote" and the little AJAX animation (circle of dots) displayed for about 5 minutes before I decided to click the "Link" at the bottom of the page.
That then said "Page Not Found" and pointed me to the article, which I clicked and which then loaded fine. My guess is that the article got moved while I was typing in my comments, but I'm not sure... I didn't note the original URL. So I tried again and my vote of 3 got posted along with my message.
I then came here to explain the problems I encountered. I tried to paste a link to the article I had copied to the clipboard (now that I think of it, it's still there: "http://www.codeproject.com/KB/IP/JavaScriptRegExpression.aspx") but my browser froze for a minute or so and I just forced it to close. My guess is that the server was unavailable and that the JavaScript didn't have a reasonable timeout while attempting to get the name of the article.
Also, when I went to the homepage to get the link to the article (which, as you saw above, I eventually realized I still had on the clipboard), the homepage only partially loaded, so I gave up and close that too. I'm guessing this is all due to some server upgrade or something, but thought I'd mention it. Also of note is that the menu to the left of the Lounge disappeared at one point (though I think it was back soon after).

We sure did get a couple of software updates anywhere from 6 hours ago till now. I wasn't in, can't be more specific.

Seems you have a competitor. If you don't feel legal action is necessary, then perhaps you will get a good laugh. I just got the following message via my developer portfolio:
[Redacted] wrote: Subject: Codeprojection.com on SALE
Hello, hope you're fine.
I came to know you through your Codeproject profile. I've noticed you're very fond of Codeproject. So thought to tell you about a domain name I own, www.codeprojection.com.
However, I've built a small website on it. Showing movies of coding, segregated into various categories. With a separate control panel to add movies in database.
But because, I'm finding myself unable to work on it due to other works I have on hold. I thought to sell this name to a person who can put it on the position where it should be.
It's a brandable name. A portal like codeproject (theoretical articles) will run very well on it. But the concept will differ a bit. It will comprise videos (projections).
I've already got a bid of USD 6000 for the same. However, I'm asking USD 10,000 but negotiable up to some extent.
If you or somebody you know have interest in it. Plz let me know at my email: [Redacted]
Thanks
Should I break the bad news to him that you've just added a video section to Code Project?

Yes, we're aware. Apart from the obvious trademark infringement, would you consider that email as spam? You really don't want to be spamming and using your own email address since someone may report you and the CANSPAM act is pretty clear cut about the penalties.

If somebody takes the time to personally notice how I spend my time online and then seek out my personal development portfolio and send me a message to make me some sort of offer they think I'd actually be interested in on a one-time basis, I don't see that as spam. Well, maybe if it happened more, but I am luckily unpopular enough that I mostly get automated spam. But thank you for the information.

That makes at least 3 people (somebody in the Lounge posted about getting the same message). That's approaching SPAM status in my book.

Or it's only my opinion?
The submission wizard should count the words/characters (without source code) and check for a minimum count. If the article falls below this limit, the author should be able to select the reasonable type (Tip/Blog/Article).
|
|
|
|
|
One of the changes we'll be making in the near future is the ability to change the article type quickly and painlessly.
Word counts, however, aren't always enough since an article may be presented as brief, to the point, with a minimal sample and an extensive download that is far beyond just a tip.
I'd rather provide tools that allow the community, one by one, to intelligently correct things than have a system stubbornly do things that may not make sense.

I'm still not convinced we need to totally differentiate articles, tips, blogs. To me this looks like a meaningless meta-discussion. To me they all are "unsolicited publications, mostly one-way communications", and they can have any length, any graphics, any downloads, any whatever the author chooses. What is most relevant is CP provides several distinct ways of creating them, a long article is better served through the current article wizard, a short article (now tip) better by a simple one-page entry form.
On the other hand, I would like to have an indication of the extensiveness of such articles when I am looking at a listing, I would like to be able to filter and search on that, and sort by it. So when I search for BackgroundWorker, give me all about it, long articles, short articles, anything. When I search for "extensive information about" BGW, just give me extensive (that would mainly be: long) articles and not tips. Extensiveness would be a number (say 1-to-5 or even 1-to 10), determined automatically, and maybe the author would have the possibility to tweak it a little (say -2 or +2 on a 1-to-10 scale). And I would reward them all using a single philosophy; the actual point values might be proportional to the extensiveness of course.
One of the advantages is an article can grow or shrink in a natural way; one can start with something short, extend it over time; maybe split it in two parts. etc. No re-qualifications, no discussions. Another advantage would be a very long article being up-voted would get more rep points than an average-length article being upvoted, which seems quite fair.
[ADDED]
An example: String concatenation in C#[^].
Mark points out this isn't an article (in its current definition; and he is right). But that should not be the issue IMO. We should be made to focus on content, not nomenclature.

Strangely enough, I agree with everything you say. (Am I under the spell of the rapture?) I would just add that it obviously takes longer and requires more effort to write a long article with screenshots, etc., (assuming no fluff), and so articles are worth more in rep points than tips.
As for the difference between tips and blogs, I'm stumped. Blogs seem to be able to coast in without much scrutiny or comment, but I'm not sure what that means.
Maybe there should be a "guest blog" kind of section, like newspapers have "guest editorials". Here, the blog would be pre-screened, and from then on would be published immediately, with no further approval required. This kinda assumes that the author is not going to weird out on some Rapture movement, or shift to organizing a Free the Gay Hamsters charity on his blog.

Someone (with a high rep rating) just went through and 1-voted every response to this question (and maybe even the question itself).

Here i will give you all 5 to counter it. Chris should make a script to delay voting, 1 vote a minute, after 5 in a minute double and so on and so forth doubling.

Terrible Idea.
I like to do edits and awards firstthing in the morning.
Why should we all have to wait because of one person being an arse.
Disproportionate response don't you think?
