No harm done - sounds like the perfect example for the existence of the entire open source movement :-) If _your_ application under an open source license ? In other words, would you mind putting it under GPL license [1] so that others can use and build upon it ? > The complete program is composed of 2 pieces: > - the core search/engine/User interface application > - the data (a collection of RealAudio datas) > The complete data takes many CDs (e.g. 7 CDs are necessary > for all the tapes...) So you are using the data from the windows non-commercial applications package ? Is there a different license on the dataset - in other words, can the data be used in an open source project ? I don't think the windows application has rights on the data and I'd even think that most of that data (or tapes or CDs, etc) are under public-domain (in principle at least), but then again I'm guessing here.
