Gpl

The past week, I had released a copy of my three-dimensional grapher. Some of you expressed interest in the source.

The problem is that I would like to use this for a portfolio project for industry. I would like to release the code (or at least the algorithm) to the public, but the problem is that I do not know if this will somehow interfere with it as a portfolio project.

Now I could publish it under GPL once the final version comes out, but I do not know how that will affect the status of being as a portfolio project.

Does anybody have any ideas about this?

GPL?? :confused: :confused:

General Public Licence. Basically Open Source.

I'm with you now. I guess if you want to use it in your portfolio you shouldn't release the source. On the other hand it depends because the person reading the portfolio could ask you questions to find out if you are the person who wrote it and as you are you should be able to convince them you wrote it. I'd be safer not to release the source but it'd also be a shame for those that want it, most people on these forums don't mind when people say a project is closed source (it drives them to try and do it there selfs;)). The choice is yours.
Also do you have a big portfolio anyway??

Nope. This is the first of five projects.

Thx for the information though.

is gpl the same as gnu? where you have to post the source with any modification?

GNU is "GNU not UNIX." GPL is the general public licence that prevents people from profitting from your work (claiming it as their own.)

"GNU not UNIX."? :confused:
what does that mean?

i know quake 1 is gnu, and you have to release the source along with any modification.

GNU = "GNU not UNIX." That's what it means.
