Hi,
Can i develop commercial software( for sale ) with wxWidgets?
What is the best software License to do this?
Thanks
Commercial software Topic is solved
Hi!
This question tends to pop up once in a while:
Yes, you can develop commercial software with wxWidgets.
No, there are no license or royalty fees to pay.
Yes, you can create your own license for your application.
As for what the best license for a commercial application is... I honestly don't know. Maybe consult a lawyer if you need something "bullet proof", although I doubt that something like that exists.
In general, wxWidgets license permits almost everything. If you release a commercial application I would recommend to do two things:
1. Mention the use of wxWidgets somewhere in the application ("spread the word")
2. Donate to the project.

BTH, i live too in Germany 
Can you please guide me through the steps needed to make my software available for sell legally?
Let us say that i finished program coding, what is the next step? do i need to open a "firma" to be able to sell the software? What department should i contact to make the needed documents or license( patentamt, finanzamt, arbeitsamt....)
I am asking you this question because i see that you live in Germany too.
Best regards
Alan

Hi!
Uh, hard to tell. As I am employed I can't really comment on that. But I suppose you would need at least a "Gewerbeschein" and you'd have to apply taxes. This may seem a bit odd, but ask around in your bank, sometimes they offer help for startups.

iam professional too
hi allany,
i'am living in germany too (near berlin) and i am a commercial developer.
See here ("Gewerbeanmeldung"):

Normally pure software is not patentable in europe. You get automatically the "Urheberrecht" (something like copyright) if you publish your work.
See here:
http://www.jere-mias.de/biwi/urheb1.html
You can register your brand at the www.dpma.de if you like.
My way (in german):
- Gewerbeanmeldung beim Gewerbeamt der Stadt (ca. 30 EUR, ist ganz einfach), Finanzamt und IHK etc. werden glaube ich automatisch benachrichtigt
- Steuernummer vom Finanzamt holen
--> und los gehts
(geht auch nebenberuflich, aber Arbeitgeber informieren!)

Software patents:
The ABS system in a car is software (the function, other is stupid metal). This software is patentable because it interacts with special hardware.
A software like MS Word is not patentable, because it interacts only with normal PC components (there is no technical characteristic, de:"Technizit

Better you go to a patent lawyer (its difficult to write a correct patent document).

Hi,
I have just visited Klicktipps . In the " Allgemeine Informationen " section there are some unclear point to me. It will be very nice if you help me to clear them
1. "dass bereits eine gute und legale Idee existiert, womit das Geld verdient werden soll" As a software developer or programmer, what could be the answer here? Is it enough to say for example: I am offering a computer software, therefore it is " eine gute und legale Idee " and " womit das Geld verdient werden soll "
2. "dass eventuell notwendige Ausbildungen, Genehmeigungen Zertifikate vorliegen" Ist das pflicht? Let's say i have developed the program in C++(for instance), but i do not have a "Ausbildungen, Genehmeigungen Zertifikate ". Can i sell my software or i must have a " C++ Zertifikat " ?
