Not quite sure if this should be here, but...
While practising some skills I rarely use in my job I built a program to calculate the basics of ship design.
Basically
Given tonnage, jump, Maneveur rating, armor, tech level, and agility what do the minimum components weigh (it only does tonnage, not cost). This was built as a tool to calculate what was possible, and as a quick generator for a "base" ship that can then be kitted out properly. I mainly use it for thought experiments at the moment.
Basic T20 construction only.
Due to the copyright restrictions due to the OGL and that particular chapter restrictions I cannot with good conscience give out the code generally. While the output is free to release, a lot of the copyrighted works details exist inside the code (which is a script and therefore mostly readable).
I have decided that I can live with a restricted release. ie. If you ask for it I will send you a copy, and you can only ask for it if you have a copy of the book. This puts the onus of copyright breach on the person asking for the code, not on me.
The code is Perl, and can be used from the command line, or inside a cgi (it is much easier in a CGI container). The interface is also a little klunky, I make no apologies for that.
So anyone want a copy?
