I'm looking to package and deploy a portable version of any popular web browser with my application, do you know any web browser that has a license that permit's to distribute it with a commerical application?

There is not much choice nowadays, so you can do your own research and read licenses for currently used browsers.
If you don't want to pay any license fees, you should take a look on Mozilla's Firefox licensing: http://www.mozilla.org/foundation/licensing.html
In general, yes, you can redistribute Firefox, under certain conditions. Also see Licencing FAQ: http://www.mozilla.org/MPL/mpl-faq.html
Or, take a look on Chromium licensing: http://code.google.com/intl/en-EN/chromium/terms.html
Also, you might want to embed browser's engine in your application (For Mozilla's Gecko read: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/embedding/ , for WebKit, consult your UI widget library, it might have it already; if not, take a look here: http://trac.webkit.org/wiki)

I ordered a FirefoxOS smartphone yesterday and inspected the Firefox marketplace for apps.
I was wondering where i can find the licenses for each APP.
Is there a standard license (MIT, BSD, GPL)?
I also searched the MDN but i found no information about licensing models.
Neither open, nor closed source.
For example at F-Droid (which i used in past for Android) solitaire the license is Apache2.
The solitaire at firefox' marketplace has which license?
Only "Open Web Apps" are mentioned here but nothing in detail about licensing.
Does anyone knows about?
I asked this in the SUMO forums at mozilla.org and got my answer:
It appears that this feature is not available. To find the licensing
type of specific applications, you should contact the developer
directly.
This tracking bug has more information, including discussions on this
feature:

I used Titanium for my project. It really supports well for Android and IOS. Our app runs really smooth with native feel on these two platforms. We need run it on Blackberry too. But Titanium doesn't support Blackberry well.
Do anybody know any cross-platform mobile application that support well for Android,IOS,Blackberry also?
I heard about the IBM Worklight. Does it support well for BlackBerry? Does it support well for IOS and Android also?
Thanks,
Chinh
Should be noted: "questions asking to recommend or find a book, tool, software library, tutorial or other off-site resource are off-topic for Stack Overflow". Your question will get closed soon.
My biased opinion is that Worklight can provide a very high level of development support, features and functionality for both Android and iOS, from both a web and native perspective. BlackBerry support is lower than that for Android and iOS, but by using a combination of the Worklight framework and optionally the bbUI framework & API, you will likely be able to create a decent BlackBerry app as well. However, it would be better to target BB10 than BB6/7.
You can take a look at the Worklight-based Bank of Montreal app for BlackBerry 10 for impressions: http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/46442891/?lang=en&countrycode=CA

I want to bundle DirectX web installer with my application and run on user's system to update their DirectX. I want to know if redistribution of DirectX web installer is permitted.
From the License Agreement shown when launching the installer it seems that you cannot redistribute it. Then again, this didn't stop many setup developers.
A simple solution is to use a custom action which downloads and launches the installer. This way you use the Microsoft URL and meet the EULA requirements.

I'm working on GAE-J/GWT app, wherein a desktop app connects to the GAE-J component, and there is also a web-app component whose front-end is written in GWT, and the GAE-J backend supports both the desktop app and the web app.
I have a good amount of experience with writing pure server code and desktop code, but not so much on the web-app side of things. So I'm looking to study some good sophisticated open source code to see how other's have done things, but I can't find much open source GWT and/or GAE-J stuff, other than frameworks. Does anyone know of any good projects out there?
I've written a little app called SixFixMix that uses the following stack: GWT, GIN, dyuproject (for OpenID), gwt-mobile-webkit (for HTML5 Geolocation), gwt-google-apis (for Maps), gwt-log, gwt-presenter, gwt-dispatch, Objectify, and GAEJ. Good luck!
There isn't any GWT in it (yet?) but Partychat (Google Code Project) is a moderately-sophisticated open-source Java App Engine app that simulates multi-user chatrooms using the XMPP service.
I'm sure there are more sophisticated apps out there, and some that include a GWT component, but I figured I'd take the chance to self-promote when it's given :)
GWT tagged open-source projects on google code hosting.
maybe that can help you http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/articles/mvp-architecture.html

This is more of a licencing issue than a code question. I really like the ckeditor editor and would like to use it in my freelance projects which I do for clients. However upon reading the license page it has me in a bit of a confusion. DO I have to buy licences if I intend to use this in cms websites that I build myself and hand over to clients?
If so then what are my alternate options which don't cost anything?
Its should be ok, if you don't change anything of its source, IMHO.
Integrating CKEditor in commercial
software, taking care of satisfying
the Open Source licenses terms, while
not able or interested on supporting
CKEditor and its development.
I am not a lawyer, but the dual licensing model would appear to not prevent you from using the open source licensed CKEditor in your cms / client projects, as long as the terms of the chosen license are met.
What you cannot do is sell, give away or otherwise distribute the editor to third parties without providing them with access to the source code and the license attached to the product.
