I'm thinking of porting some of GNOME to Minix to help me study C. If the program I want to port is a copyleft license (e.g. GPL), does the ported version have to be licensed under the same license, or can I change the license?
Yes, a modified GPL program must be released under the GPL.

This is my first question in SO. I read this page and now I want to use MimeTeX.dll in my commercial, closed source project. Regarding to licence of MimeTeX project, can I legally do this?
MimeTeX is GPL licensed so you are not allowed to use it in a closed-source product unless you get specific permission to do so by the copyright-holder.

I planned to write a small neo4j wrapper in my own framework, which is OS under the Apache 2 license. Is it a problem to publish my code for neo4j under the Apache2 license since neo4j uses the GPL/AGPL license?
Thanks a lot!
you can publish the code under Apache License, however the runtime would be under GPL. Got any details?

Is yes, what license text / note should I look into. Any pointers will greatly appreciated.

is it "legal" to use GNU-Code in a software project developed from a company for internal use only.
So here is no distribution out of the company.
nobody can force the company to publish their code?
Yes. The licenses don't require you to publish your software at all.

Is it possible to use ObjectListView, which uses the GPL v3 license, legally in a closed-source program that will be sold?
If so, what has to be done to make sure to not violate the license?
ObjectListView has a GPL license so that it is usable by all free software.
Commercial licenses are available, with payment being related to the size of the organisation that wants the licenses.
If you cannot afford any license, we can still work something out. I've never denied a commercial license to anyone who wanted one.
