Hi Daniel
>At the risk of a sales pitch, the C++ templates in my book are for public
>domain use (if you keep the name of Datasim in there).
Your book is next in my reading list (I'm currently going through J.
London's "Modelling Derivatives in C++" advance copy, and I've just read M.
Joshi's "C++ Design Patterns and Derivatives Pricing": a good semester for
books about C++ and derivatives pricing ;-)
I might consider merging some of your code into QuantLib, anyway should you
be interested we would love to get you personally involved: just get a
SourceForge username and start contributing. The good thing about free
software is that is free for everybody: you might even go ahead and take
the lead...
One caveat: I'm really sorry you put out your code on public domain, since
public domain has many subtlety. Namely it is possible for someone else to
copyright public domain code and license it under whatever license. In such
a case it is not clear what rights the original author would keep, as it
would depends on the local law.
If your code is really public domain you can't even enforce the request
"keep the name of Datasim". The way to go is to KEEP the copyright and then
license the code with a BSD-like license, as the QuantLib license or the
Boost licence.
I'm not a layer, but if you worry about this matter just take a look at
www.fsf.org or ask the Free Software Foundation. Or even better just
contribute your Datasim copyrighted code to QuantLib under the QuantLib
licence :)
ciao -- Nando
