1 points · Open discussionAsk HN: May I sell the copyright to my code?
I've built a search engine. It has its own query language, data structures and binary file formats, it's MIT licensed and it has around 60 forks. Nobody uses it though, even though it has been around for some years but it was just until recently that I managed to solve the very last of the most crucial of bugs, so I don't find that surprising at all.
It works well now, though, for a Wikipedia sized text based corpus, even though it's still in beta and contains code that can still be optimized. However, before I want to go any further with the project, I'd like to see if I can sell it, the copyright to my code, that is. Because maybe I want to be in the business of creating smart code, then sell it, then move on to the next thing? And maybe some company would like to have a search engine in their software portfolio? Suppose we meet, have a

drink, see what happens.
Do I have the rights to sell it, though?

12 points · Open discussionJust a quick reminder; my MIT licensed open source project Resin [0] does pretty much of what WA does. It's free today and it will be free tomorrow. Free to use in production, to clone, fork, tear apart. Like WA
- it's a linguistic engine
- it has a query language
- there is a cloud you can use [1] if you don't want to host it on-premise
- it has high level API's for creating language models from JSON documents (or in other ways formatted)
- low level API's for creating whatever 64-bit vector space you might want
- tools that help you in the analysis phase
- tools for creating and deploy HTTP endpoints for reading from/writing to your model
Next week I'm freezing the API's for I will have reached v0.4, because by then, at my day job, we will have completed our first "AI powered" closed-sourced product based on Resin.

ave any bearing and to stay alive and well (and free forever) I need your help. I need a community of contributors. Chip in, it's for a good cause!

I'm working on a project similar to the YaCy one. The main difference is that I do not want or even require that each node trust each other. I let the user decide who they trust.
