Let's say I modified an open source app "XYZ", and decided to release it to the public as an closed source app. Is there any FOSS license that would allow such thing?
Other than large entities sponsoring a project, such as the Apache foundation, what are other ways that full-time open source developers (specifically those on products offered free of charge) receive funding for their projects? Obviously there will be donations that will trickle in but from what other channels do developers receive more steady income?
Is the proliferation of open source licenses just another example of programmers living NYI (Not Invented Here) syndrome? I know there are some big differences between some of the big licenses (e.g., GPL, Apache, BSD) but when you start looking to see many projects creating their own licenses. Why?

Hi everyone,
Im having some trouble with an oracle database. Every time i try to connect, i get this message.
ORA-01033: ORACLE initialization or
shutdown in progress
I searched the web, and found that the solution is to execute an alter database open command, but what I dont understand is where should i execute if, since I cant connect to the database.
Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance
I'm looking for a good open source multi-touch API to use in a project we might get. So far I've found PyMT, but haven't really seen any comments on the maturity of that product, so any input in that regard would be much appreciated.
I'd also like some other suggestions on API's that might be of interest, since googling have only given so much, and as with PyMT, it is quite difficult finding opinions on the frameworks out there.
Many thanks.

My site has several listing pages and on each page, I'd like to enable a commenting mechanism, but I want it to be as open source as humanly possible. This means full use of OpenID's, Facebook connect, etc. Does such a system exist that'll allow users to post their comments on my listing pages?
By the way, my site utilizes a LAMP architecture.

This is a similar question to one posted earlier, but slightly different. I'm interested in what your favorite Open Source app is. I don't care if it's well coded or if it isn't active anymore, I just am interesteed in apps that work and do something useful. The internet is a big place, so with a few suggestions some of us may find a new favorite app.
I am trying to find a simple matrix overview of the various licenses around open source software but can't find anything useful.
I would like to know whether software under a certain licence can be used in commercial closed source software, if there has to be the original source code included, if the licence has to be redistirbuted, etc.
I know this is a difficult topic because I guess only the minority of programmers are also moonlighting lawyers - neither am I.
I want to launch a small online shop.
