I remember encountering a commercial software that scanned a project's source code and provided a list of all the different software licenses it used. That is, it would find all the third party code used in a project and give their licenses (Apache, GPL, ...).
Can anyone provide a link to such a program?
Found the one I remembered:
http://www.blackducksoftware.com/protex - Protex by Black Duck.
The key term to use in google, as I learned the hard way, is "Software Compliance Management".
FOSSology is a GPL-licensed tool for analyzing OS licensing. It's main capability is to do pattern matching against uploaded source code and find matching licenses.
I know about a Ruby library called Ohcount.

Need to call some OCR function to extract characters from images. Wondering if anyone have good recommendations? Not necessarily to be open source and free.
thanks in advance,
Lin
When it come to OCR(optical character recognition) Tesseract is consider a better choice.
https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract
There is another library called microblink ocr. Code is available for ios, android and phone gap. Its accuracy is very good.

I have used GOCR a while ago, it's a command line tool, you can integrate it in your script if you are working server-side. I was satisfied with the result, it did a great job.

I want to develop a simple web based resource reservation system using TCL/TK.
Please let me know some good tutorials or links to start with.
Also some good examples please.
Thanks,
Ramya
OpenACS has a room reservation module included. OpenACS is written in TCL. There are tutorials available here.
Note that Tk is a library to program GUIs; it's not a part of Tcl which is a language (and its reference implementation).
But there is a project which provides for programming web presentation layer in a way resembling programming GUIs with Tk—it's called Æjaks.

Is there a decent website or service out there where developers can propose a new idea for an open source project (regardless of language) and have the community vote it up / down, form teams, and do everything that precedes writing the first line of code?
There is the SomeBodyMakeThis reddit. Also, project sites like SourceForge allow you to create a project which is in the "planning" stage. Often, this is used by people who think they have a good idea and want somebody else to make it for them.
Kind of like Kickstarter (for funding), SourceForge (for hosting), or an IdeaStorm (for brainstorming and community feedback)? The Apache Foundation, or the Horde project (for incubating a plethora of related projects)? It really depends on to what your idea relates. Try joining one of the relevant extant open-source communities and sounding off on your idea.

Let's say write a C library, and I want all versions of the source to carry my copyright/license, but I want users of the library distributing executable code, static or dynamically linked library to be a able to do so without restriction (including making reference to my particular license). Does such an open source license exist?
Both the zlib/libpng license and the Boost license fit those criteria.
There is always the DWTFYW License :)

There are lots of open-source code repositories - SourceForge, Google Code, Project Kenai, etc.
Is there a one-stop place where I can find, discover, or search for open-source projects across all of these repositories? Or do I have to visit all of them to find something I'm interested in?
Edit: I should specify that I'm interested in searching project descriptions, not just lines of code. I'd like to answer, "Is there an existing tool for doing X?" - and is it actively maintained, and other higher-level questions like that.
Krugle allows you to search across open source code, open source projects and even SCM check-in comments. What's not to love?
Have you tried freshmeat.net?
There are several directories for open source software, e.g:
http://www.opensourcesoftwaredirectory.com/
http://osload.com/
Search google for "open source directory" to find others.
