I have just finished developing a windows software. How or where can I get a free open source software for developing an installer for my application?

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.

What is the difference among shareware, open source software and freeware?

I’ve read lots of complex answers to this question but I don’t know some advanced software lingo. So my title is the question, but an example would be: If I was to make a video game, would i be able to use some Open Source software to make it, even if I wanted to sell it? Like if I used an open source tree generator or building generator could i still sell the game, even if I gave it credit?

How does the open source software business model works for company like google? How would they earn money other than releasing their own hardware products that works only with their particular software…

Say if i take some open source software edit it to make it my own. What do i need to display? What rules do i need to follow? Do i have to give them some credit or mention them in the terms and conditions/disclaimer? :]

Ok, I know you cant sell open source software. But my question is can you use it to make money? Say I integrate an open source software into my website with slight modification in the code as I require. Can I place ads on the same site and monetize on it? I am not selling the software to anyone, I am just using it as a part of my site to ad value to my users. And the money being generated is not through the software but through the ads.

I manage a website for a non-profit sports facility. We are holding a fundraiser and we would like to offer online ticket ordering via PayPal. Is there a free or open source software I can integrate into our website?

I have lots of technical knowledge and I know how to put various web technologies into use, but I cannot find a suitable program!

Thanks for your help.

I am running Linux (ubuntu) on its own partition. I have the windows partition mounted and can read and copy files from it. However, it is read-only. I want to be able to modify files in it and copy files into it.

What open-source software is there for ubuntu linux that will do this? How do I install it and make it work so that the NTFS partition is editable and mounted?
