Is this related to the discussion we were having before the 3rd party joined in?

I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

There seems to be a problem with the article submission wizard. I can't seem to go beyond Step 2, the Upload Files section. Even when I stop the next page from loading, which never happens, and access the article from the articles section of my profile for editing i can't get to the Upload files page. Frown | :(

Hi Chris, the problem persists. I've been trying since Saturday jumping from cyber cafe to cyber cafe. I simply can't upload image and src files for the project of my article.

Which license to choose for a certain article? [modified]

After reading the descriptions of the available CP licenses[^], I still don't know exactly which license to choose for the following requirements:

I want to publish the source code of a commercial product of us (this one[^]) that is still heavily being sold.
I want to enable everyone to take the source code (or parts of it) and use it in their own programs.
I want to forbid the usage of the source code to build similar products to create a competitive application.
I want to ensure that users still require a license of our program to use it, even if they could compile it on their own.

The reason why I want to publish the sources is to share some knowledge and to make my product more widely known.

Questions:

Does this sound resonable to you?
Does such a license exists?

Thanks
Uwe

I have neaver heard of any such beast. What you could always do is choose a license that matches your needs the closest and say "this article is licensed under Blah with the following further constraints..."

I'm going to forward this to Sean as well so he can get nin touch with you and ensure that what nappears on your article (license wise) is what you want.

Thanks, Chris!

I'll wait for Sean's reply, and will choose the closest license available.

I made 2 minor edits to my tip/trick, but I don't see anything that allows me to look at the history of changed versions like I can with questions and articles.

can't see any revision widget either. Your edits must have been minuscule, and below the radar of the difference engine, hence not considered worthy of a revision number. Laugh | :laugh:

Maybe it doesn't show the revision widget when the only edits are to the abstract. I'd still call that a bug.

Seems like an interesting article, but it has been voted a 1 for no reason at all other than ";". I've upvoted the article to make up for it.

This idiot seems to think that it's acceptable to do this on more than this article.

People like that should just be deleted from CP.

PRE Highlights Text Like HTML

It would be far better to simply click "vote to remove this message" on his "why I voted 1" messages. That nukes the message and the vote.

In the message I just posted below, I had the following PRE block:

HTML

<pre lang="text">&lt;% %&gt;</pre>

It seems the ASP.Net code block got highlighted like ASP.Net (i.e., the text is highlighted bright yellow). This is unexpected, because I set the lang to "text", not to a specific language, like "html". When I set the lang to "text", I would think there would be no special highlighting. This is how it gets rendered:

<% %>
