Why do many public institutions, such as schools and libraries, block reputable open-source software websites?
My local public library recently installed new internet filters for both wired and wifi connections. Sites like SourceForge and PortableApps are now blocked, even if using your own laptop through a wired or wifi connection. The library IT guy says the blocks were a requirement from the filtering provider, but that seems rather unfair.

I’m looking for an open-source software library or plugin that provides an interface similar to Visio, Umbrello, Dia, Inkscape, Xilinx ISE, etc. which allows the creation of objects and connections by users, which can then be analyzed by the caller program. Ideally this would be a cross-platform library, but it needs to work on Linux.

I am interested in software that helps libraries setup a cataloging and searching system for online, electronic database resources.

So far I have come across these freeware +/- open source possibilities: Alfresco, Knowledge tree, OpenKM, SCAN, Nuxeo, Greenstone, Xinco.

Any other good ones I have missed?

Thanks

How can I find out if gnu gcc libraries have a function such as gamma? I am using Linux. I ‘d to know if gcc has that function or not, but I don’t know how. Please help. Thanks

I want to sell an application that I made but it uses Gnu Public License Libraries. I’m wondering it it’s ok to charge for an application that uses a free library.

Can anyone please tell me how to open, read and write a file in GNU C++ under linux. I just need to know which libraries are used and a little documentation on them.

I created a commercial web site, and the software I developed to run the site uses GPL’d libraries. As I understand the GPL, it’s okay to make profit of such a site without opening the source code I wrote, but what if I want to sell the entire business to someone else? Does it constitute a software distribution, and therefore requires me to open up the source to the general public?
