Re: [udig-devel] udig.eu domain
|
What is the legal aspect of creating a simple organization to represent uDig and use the
udig.eu branding? I think in many countries this is a very simple registration, and the PMC can back it. That might minimize issues with changing PMC members? I would guess that the bulk of the existing code would remain with refractions in terms of copyright and branding, but all (or at least most) new code would be
udig.eu.
And regarding the branding, did you try
udig.me? That has a much nicer ring to it, and the .me domains were opened for sale starting a year or two ago, and
udig.me seems to be available still. (I also think
udig.eu does not sound nice when read out loud. In many European languages, the EU is pronounced something like Oy, and in Swedish the U is pronounced like a V, 'Ev').

I talked to Paul Ramsey about this and he said it was probably too much work to worry about. His suggestion was not to worry about it too much. It seems refractions still has a large portion of postgis copyright.
Perhaps we can keep the copyrights with the PMC and when they leave they have to transfer it to another PMC member?

Join osgeo == enter incubation? That is impossible right now with the
resources we, IMO.
But I would be very glad if it was :)
This is a decision that has to be done soon, since I want to finally
contribute the netcdf and grass formats to udig core. No more fiddling
on this. :)
