Code bases for desktop and mobile versions of the same app
I have written a small Java Swing desktop application. It seems like a natural step to port it to Android since I am interested in learning how to program for that platform. I believe that I can reuse some of my existing code base. (Of course, exactly how much reuse I can get out of it will only be determined as I start coding the Android app.)
Why are many programmers moving their code to github?
For the past 6 months or more, I’ve been seeing many codes hosted at sourceforge.net as well as other hosting sites “Move to GitHub”. A mere Google Search with the phrase “Moved to Github” returns several results containing the text moved to github. This is very confusing for me, and I’m wondering, why exactly are people moving? Does it mean that GitHub is better or is there some special advantage I’m not seeing?

Can Foswiki be used as a distributed Redmine replacement?
I am quite familiar with and love using git, among other reasons due to its distributed nature. Now I’d like to set up some similarly distributed (FOSS) Project Management software with features similar to what Redmine offers, such as
Is the creator of a piece of software bound by the license he gives it?
For example, if a person creates an application that they open-source under a license that says you can use this code but you cannot sell it, has that person just bound himself to not selling it now as well?
Incorporating GPL Code in my Open Source Project
I have downloaded a currently inactive GPL project with a view to updating it and releasing the completed codebase as open source. I’m not really a fan of GPL though and would rather licence my project under BSD.
How to check if my open source idea already exists?
I’ve got a great idea for an open source project. What should I do before starting, to make sure that I’m not duplicating anyone’s efforts?
Forking an open source project using Git
There is an open source project that I want to fork for my own reasons. It currently has a Git mirror of its main SVN repository which I can use.
