Hi Jody.
AFAIK, there was no special exceptions made for any
specific libraries when we created LocationTech.
LocationTech has the ability to distribute LGPL libraries
(so long as they pass the due diligence process). This
applies to any library distributed by any LocationTech
project.
Or have I misunderstood your statement?
You understood me, I was under
the impression the exception for LGPL was limited to a few
specific key technologies.

Hi Guys,
Jody is correct, there was a unanimous board resolution for
pre-approval for specific technologies. The following is the actual
resolution.
Andrew
"RESOLVED,
The Board unanimously approves the use of the GNU Lesser General
Public License (LGPL) for the following third-party components
distributed by projects hosted by the Location Industry Working
Group:
Geotools, JTS, and
GEOS, including their dependencies licensed under either the LGPL,
or other licenses previously approved by the Board.
Such projects must
be clearly be identified as separate and distinct from Eclipse
Foundation projects, hosted on a web property other than
eclipse.org, and not using the org.eclipse namespace."
