  • It was written as part of my work.

    check your contract, you might not own the code and your organization may have a process to determine how to license something.

    to your other questions (IANAL)

    1. prior work wont be licensed, meaning no one but the owner of the work is allowed to do anything with versions prior to the license
    2. you don’t have to, but i can’t see a reason why you should not.
    3. GPL might mean that other work depending on gpl licensed code has to be licensed in a gpl compatible way, depending on how exactly you depend on it and how you distribute your dependencies. MIT/BSD is easier here, if you don’t plan to license everything with the GPL anyway.



  • Most clients are web browsers and support for torrents in http is the same as for every other file.

    So that would only give us a use for torrents as a form of content distribution plattform to get the actual files closer to the client.

    In cases where we have actual non browser clients: i like to curate what i am distributing and don’t want to distribute anything i happen stumble upon or would you be willing to store and more importantly share everything you find on 4chan or that might show up in your mastodon feed?

    Might be a good way for someone who is familiar with a higher level language.

    Than there is of course “The C Programming Language” by Ritchie and Kernighan and “advanced programming in the unix enviroment” by stevens and rago.

    So, i’d guess just get your feet wet with small stuff. Find out how to take arguments from the command line, or read a file, maybe programm a simple guess the number game. After you are more familiar with the syntax and so on you could look into using your c code in a higher level language. For python you’d have to look into ctypes for that.
