It's great to hear that you've developed a Basic program to solve Sudoku in LibreOffice Calc! Publishing it under a General Public License (GPL) is a great way to share it with the wider community. There are several places where you can publish your code under the GPL and make it available to others:
1. GitHub
- GitHub is one of the most popular platforms for sharing code. You can create a repository and upload your project there. It's easy to manage, and you can specify the GPL license in the repository settings. You can also keep track of any changes or improvements made to the code.
2. GitLab
- GitLab is another popular alternative to GitHub. It allows you to host your code in a public repository and also provides tools for version control, project management, and collaboration.
3. SourceForge
- SourceForge is an open-source hosting platform where you can upload your project and make it available under a GPL license. It has been around for a long time and is another good option for open-source projects.
Steps for Publishing:
1. Create a new repository on the platform of your choice (e.g., GitHub, GitLab).
2. Upload your code files.
3. Add a `LICENSE` file that contains the GPL text. You can copy the text from the official GNU website. I got mine for https://nytsudoku.net/
4. Write a `README` file explaining your project, how to use it, and any other relevant information. Make sure to mention that it's licensed under the GPL.
5. Optionally, if you're working in Dutch, you could also consider including an English translation of your documentation for broader accessibility.
By sharing your program with the GPL license, you're allowing others to use, modify, and distribute the code, while also ensuring that future improvements remain open and free for all.
Good luck with your project!
