GPL software, written in C++, for the curious minds...

Hmm, I'll have to check the license terms on this one: if they're "liberal", I might be able to use it to add a "generate puzzle" option to Sudoku Sensei (creating puzzles with unique solutions is a whole different problem I didn't want to get into).

Thanks, BoBo.

Jacques.

The license doesn't have to be distributed with the binary, only the source. And technically you don't need to make the code available on your site, but it does have to be clear that the code is available if one wanted to get it by some means. Usually the most convenient way to do that is to make it available at the same place the binary is.

OK, thanks for clarifying my wording. I meant "on your site" as "were the binary is", since usually they are on the same place, but of course the only important thing is to make the source available (can even be in CVS/SVN/other form).
I never fully read the GPL, it is too technical (in lawyer field), wordy, lengthly...
I always saw the GPL (LICENCE.TXT) text file with the distributed binaries and sources, hence my belief.
The usual way to distribute the source with the binary, so they are always available simultaneously, but it grows the binary distribution and most end users just don't care for it...

Sudoku Sensei v1.8, featuring new puzzle generation using the native Windows port of Stephen Ostermiller's QQwing (QQwingW.exe), is now posted. The source code download (SudokuCode.zip) also contains the C++ source for QQwingW (and for Sam Jacob's VB.NET Clip2Bmp, currently used by the "Print Window" feature).

... and why have I recently had to scroll horizontally to read posts in this forum?? They don't seem to wrap within my browser's window, even when maximized?
