Title: Reference Code Blocs in a scientific report
Post by: ThT12 on March 27, 2009, 12:25:17 pm

Hello everybody !

I'm working with Code::Blocks (and with GNU GCC compiler), and I have to do a scientific report. So my question is : wich reference I have to write to mention Code::Blocks and GNU GCC compiler ?

I have searched on internet but I only found the GNU license.

Thanks for your help !  :D

PS: Sorry for my english !

You an use http://www.codeblocks.org as a reference. Usually web addresses should not be put in a scientific report (as their content may change over the time) but I think in this case it's OK.

For the GNU compiler I can't tell - I would do the same with the GNU compiler web address...

If you reference to or cite from a website (or it's contents), you should also state the date, when you have been on the site.

By the way C::B is licensed under gplv3 (that is not automatically correct for the contrib-plugins, you have to look into the sources).

A link to the license text can also be found on C::B's homepage.

Thanks MortenMacFly et jens !

I'm gonna use the website, in the rapport, and add the website and the date in the "references" part.

Thanks a lot!
