It's perhaps worth pointing out that this software is for detecting the presence of any old face, not for detecting a particular face, such as you or Osama Bin Laden.
Does it only do human faces? Could it detect my dog, or a Cubist rendering? (Face detection in non-photographic art could be quite lucrative, I imagine.)
Not that github should be the only location of open source, but does anybody else find themselves surprised when they come across code samples that don't use it?
That's probably a good place for it. I guess I felt like posting it to github would be turning it into a "project", which definitely isn't the goal but I suppose I could just dump code there for the taking. Other folks do it. =\",
Most github links appear to be code dumps, not projects (or, at least, what I would consider projects).
My definition of a 'project' includes documentation, stable releases (ie, tar/zip archives), issue tracking, mailing lists -- these things seem to be perennially missing from most github projects I encounter.
It turns out that just advising to consider it public domain doesn't carry much legal standing, neither in protecting you, nor in ensuring people can get it past their laywers.
