We generally deprecate simplistic packages: the copy of the license is much bigger than all other files in your tarball put together.  Such programs needn't a full-fledged Savannah group, they could be hosted on a single web page.

More important, we expect that the maintainers of Savannah packages have a better understanding of licensing issues: "GPL licensed" isn't a reasonable description for how a program is licensed, https://www.gnu.org/licenses/identify-licenses-clearly.html, and it's actually wrong for GNU Libc.

Without understanding such things, the developer can end up with releasing technically unredistributable software, which would be totally unacceptable for Savannah.

Registration Details


  • Name: Free Code Samples
  • System Name:  cal-code-samples
  • Type: non-GNU software and documentation
  • License: GNU General Public License v3 or later





Description:

This project contains source code I wrote in some languages I know, including the C programming language.

I want to make it public so people can simply learn programming or study the code. Or just get some fun by reading it.

I know those samples may contains severe non sense or non working code but it is part of the programming game.
Feel free to help me to improve it.

What is special about this project?
I trend to write programs in other ways than other people would generally do, otherwise it won't be fun.


Other Software Required:

Standard C Library (glibc) :
https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/
GPL licensed

GCC compiler (for compiling the code written in C) :
https://gcc.gnu.org/
GPL licensed

GNU/Linux


Other Comments:

The GNU and the FSF are wonderful organizations that provides us a way to bypass the usage of non free software.
Thank you so much GNU and FSF.
