I am developing an open source program which for my school project. I have done some research on it, but there are still few questions. It is a school project, it is not any advance application and I am willing to share my work.
Is that mean if I release my program with license, people will afraid to change my code because it may result in law sue?
Can I claim my product as "open source" if I don't have license, I can define some rule of it (but without law protection)?
Do i have to apply for those license (e.g. GNU), I have to submit my product code or only fulfill in a form?

Depends on your license. But essentially, if you put a simple GNU GPL License, or something similar, it ensures that people are free to modify. There is no problem.

As long as people can get access to the source code you created either for use or modify, it IS Open source. Yes, there are no other exams you need to pass!
Do i have to apply for those license (e.g. GNU), I have to submit my product code or only fulfill in a form?
There is no registration stuff. Simple thing is apply LICENSE to your source and put it up on web somewhere or link with your email address.
BONUS:
So is that so complicated? What all things do i have to do?
Not Much really go through GNU GPL FAQ; essentially all you have to do is copy paste a LICENSE file in the source folder and put up copyright notice (a 2 liner) in source files.

I need to implement some graph partitioning algorithms for my thesis. I have mostly Windows experience. I would like to know if it is hard to migrate c++ console program to Linux. I want to program it on Windows but I want to test and compile it on Linux as well. It will be pure cli application, with no use of windows APi or anything. I just need to use some external libraries. Specifically GNU linear programming kit and GNU...
The question Is it illegal to rewrite every line of an open source project in a slightly different way, and use it in a closed source project? makes me wonder what would be considered a clean-room implementation in the era of open source projects. Hypothetically, if I were to develop a library which duplicates the publicly documented interface of an open-source library, without ever looking at the source code for that library, could that code ever be considered a derivative...
I am new to e-commerce, so not sure if I am using the correct term. The application I am working on will be having this feature where the clients will put some offers/deals for the users. For example: Some music institute might offer 1 week course with discount. Some hotel might offer a DJ party with drinks and a mean with some discount. My questions are: For the above scenario what will be the business term used? Are they offers...
In the project I am working right now, we have some python and some C# code. At some point, I call from python a subprocess which starts a C# executable. This C# code returns an error code, which has to be understood on the python side and a readable report has to be created. This means, both sides "must speak the same language". So, at the end I have to handle a mapping {error codes: readable explanation} (normally we implement...
Hey Guys I am doing a project and need some help with code in HTML and PHP. I need a form made in HTML that can be sent to a specific email through PHP.

Hello, I am having some trouble with a supermarket checkout simulation program in C++. What I have so far just basically adds customers to the queue and prints when they arrive. I am struggling with how to implement a way of keeping track of when a given customer finishes(I will attach what I have so far). I had already created queue and node classes (with headers and cpp files) that I modified in my attempt. I would be very grateful...
I might at some point to invite another person into my software project. I don't mind sharing the code but the data I use is very sensitive. Once he gets hands on both pieces I wont see him again (if you know what I mean).. The server is going to be collocated. He is going to want an admin access to the box remotely. So I am planning to have sensitive data to be in-memory only - I pump it...

I do not want to...
Hi, I am doing a project in Mechanics of Materials and have some problems. I'm looking for machines or real-life examples that have both axial force and bending moment. Chairs, tables and canopies were mentioned as examples, but I would like to know more examples other than those. The thing that I have currently found as an example is a cantilever crane. But I'm not sure if this is suitable for my project. What else there would be?
