Re: [udig-devel] RFC : native support bundles for java advanced imaging

[Frank Gasdorf <fgdrf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just updated the wiki page and added a license task. created two new
headlines in the proposal section to separate it into two bundles, one
for JAI and one for imageio. IMHO we can create an other change
request for the gdal stuff and go through that later. Any opinions?

License files, taken from the installers like
 * LICENSE-jai_imageio.txt
 * COPYRIGHT-jai_imageio.txt
 * DISTRIBUTIONREADME-jai_imageio.txt
 * ENTITLEMENT-jai_imageio.txt
 * THIRDPARTYLICENSEREADME-jai_imageio.txt
can be added to the build and should be included in the binaries as well.

Because of the paragraph (e) in DISTRIBUTIONREADME-<bundle>.txt (JAI
and imageio) we should add it to a feature definition where the
license text as well as the copyright agreement are shown up. I'm not
sure whether it would be required to have this agreement in the
installer too.

"(e) You agree to defend and indemnify Sun and its licensors from and
against any damages, costs, liabilities, settlement amounts and/or
expenses  (including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with any
claim, lawsuit or action by any third party that arises or results
from the use or distribution of any and all Programs and/or
Redistributable."
