Hi Everyone,
I hope your week is going well. I have a few questions/topics I
wanted to bring up.
1) Project name
As per:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources/HOWTO/Project_Naming_Policy
"As a defensive measure, the Eclipse Foundation holds the trademark
to the Project names on behalf of the Projects - this prevents
companies from misusing or misrepresenting their products as being
the Projects.) The EMO will initiate a trademark review prior to
scheduling a Creation
Review. Existing trademarks must be transferred to the Eclipse
Foundation (please see the Trademark Transfer Agreement)"
I hope this is OK?
2) Third party software
As you expect, our IP team won't have a mandate to engage until the
IWG is launched and the uDig project proposal submitted.
Nevertheless, I wanted to take a look to understand a bit about the
software distributed in uDig's packaging to educate myself better.
Here's a quick method I used: http://pastebin.com/iBFgFnFb
Aside from Eclipse stuff, I see:
net.refractions.udig.* <= is this all code from the uDig
project
eu.udig.* <= Looks like this was contributed by
HydroloGIS, correct?
Apache: Ant, Batik, Lucene, Xerces, XML resolver &
serializer, commons, jasper - all under Apache license v2
w3c: org.w3c.css.sac and org.w3c.dom events, smil, and svg
(W3C software license)
javax: servlet, xml, and servlet.jsp (Apache license v2)
org.mortbay: jetty server and util (Apache license v2)
org.tcat.citd.sim.udig: bookmarks
com.ibm: icu (ICU4J license)
com.lowagie: itext (Looks like MPL?)
com.mapquest: mq (anyone know what license this is?)
net.refractions.udig.catalog.geotools <= looks like geotools
itself is not actually distributed with udig but instead assumed to
be installed on the box, is this correct? Same with gdal?
Thanks in advance for confirming these important details.
3) Contribution agreements
Has uDig used any sort of contribution agreements?
Best regards,
Andrew
