We're getting ready to deploy a commercial application. Our software makes use of several other libraries, which have licenses ranging from the Code Project Open License (CPOL), the LGPL, the Apache License, and the MIT License
We want to comply with all of these licenses, obviously, but we're a small outfit that doesn't have a legal department to help us out with these things. Currently, as all the libraries are dynamically linked, and not embedded into the executable, I think we're mostly in the clear. Our project is closed-source, and is intended to be sold, and possibly resold by those we provide it to.
In the source code that uses these libraries, we've placed the related license at the head of the file.
In our About Box, we've placed the licenses as well (Is this step necessary)
Would we also need to include a LICENSE file upon distribution of our software?
Thanks for your help!
When talking about selling, and possibility reselling, you don't want your programmers writing your licensing.
Hire a lawyer.

I googled for this and also searched on StackOverflow, but not many helpful links showed up, so here goes:
I have a requirement as follows (and I know this is probably vague, but this is all the information I have right now):
The user will upload a software license file (and the said software can be anything - it is not specific to a particular software product), and the application will have to read the license file and populate a text box with the license key.
Based on this, my questions are as follows:
Is there a standard way to read license files for software products?
Do software license files have specific file extensions, or is it something specific to the vendors?
Is it possible to recognize a file as a license file?
Are there any .NET/C# based parsers which can read license files and extract the key?
There is no standard way.
No.
As a developer you can chose whatever you want to use it as the license file.
It depends on the way the software developer chose to proof a license, but mostly no.

We were using a product from a vendor provided to us in form of dll's. Now we are taking over that vendor product's source code. Our core application is dependent on those vendor provided dll's. We want to make sure that the source code that is provided to us is the same as of the dll's we are using. Otherwise our code can break and that could cost us big time. Can anyone please suggest a tool or a way we can compare the source code with dll's.
One way is that we can compile and publish the dll's and then compare the dll's, but that is going to be a huge task as there are multiple packages included in the base product including some aspx and html pages. We are looking for a quick and clean way to perform the task.
Any help 'd be much appreciated. Thanks
For me the only good way is to ask the vendor to provide the compilation environnement as well as the source code (using a Virtual Machine for example).
Recompilling the source, then comparing the DLLs is the only good way.

I currently use team foundation server as a source control, however, its database located on my computer, and I want it to be somewhere on the internet, on a small freeware cloud perhaps.
Is there any free source control systems, which has build-in VS2012 support and free repository storage? What are they?
I have googled a bit, but it is a little hard to detect is the system supports internet-hosted repositories and VS2012 support. I need opinions of real users.
One option is Microsoft's Team Foundation Service, which is hosted TFS and free for small teams.
You might take a look at Perforce. Their partner Assembla has cloud-based Perforce depots, free for up to something like 20 users.

I need something to create 3D surface charts in ASP.Net. Could anyone recommend a 3rd party component set? I also do not want to use Giga Soft's, Nevron's, or ComponentOne's components. I am open to non-free solutions.
This is a good question.
I have performed a search/watch for my company few months ago and it is a cruel lack.
Personnaly I would not go for expensive third party solutions as they are seriously overpriced IMHO. Most of them do not give enough interactivity and are full of flourish while lacking the real features that one could expect from a decent 3D Surface.
I've ended up using ILNumerics which is fully open source (and even contributed a bit to the project). It's Winforms, but you could port it to ASP by tweaking a bit.

I suggest Dundas Charting because of its stability and easy to use system
It provide different kinds of charts and work great with / without SQL Server Reporting Services, it has dynamic and static reports so that you user can build his report on the fly with your current reports.

I want to visualize components and connections of a HVAC system with .NET/C#.
The diagrams will just include a few different components and their connections.
They do not have to comply to any formal standard and should look alike the diagrams attached. In addition the user should be able to select a single component/connection (so that I can display additional data).
Which free drawing/charting library would you use and why?
Thanks for your time.
Julian,
Please check out GraphSharp: http://graphsharp.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx
Small/open source C# library on Git renders to HTML5 (You can modify to render to for example WPF or Winform as well)

I would try to host VS studio designer in application , how you can host workflow designer for instance. Read about VS extensibilities
It doesn't get more free than System.Drawing...
Seriously, given your requirements I'm not sure you need a framework or library. The most complex part of the system you describe is drawing the lines between components. If that doesn't have to get fancy (automatic layout, detecting where the lines overlay other lines/boxes) then you can probably roll the whole thing custom.
