I have a piece of software that I would like to open source via Google Code Project Hosting. The problem is that I have used some code 开发者_JAVA百科from Code Project which is licenced with the Code Project Open Licence (CPOL).

Are any of the available licences I can choose from Google Code compatible with CPOL? Or do I have to find some way of removing the CPOL code before I can open source my software? I'm having a hard time figuring out if I can include the CPOL code. Thanks.

I read it the way that the original code (and in part if your create a derivate) requires that it's licensed under The Code Project Open License (CPOL) 1.02.

Google Project hosting requires an OSI-approved license.

As far as I can see, CPOL is not OSI-approved.

You can contact the original author/copyright holder of the code and ask to gain rights on the codebase under a different license that full-fills the requirements of your google code hosting.

Or you choose another platform that allows more licenses. I think github requires only that the code is "open source" (you can read the source code).
