I am seeing something happening might make this a non-issue in the medium term. Maybe someone can confirm this. It looks like the LocationTech community is adopting JTS and (here is my speculation) trying to shed GeoTools and any dependence on LGPL.
"... induction of JTS <https://www.locationtech.org/proposals/jts-topology-suite> into the LocationTech community. The project tasks to address including a license change from LGPL to BSD/EPL, ..." found here: http://boundlessgeo.com/2016/02/locationtech-incubation-sprint-update/ This is great, but Geotools is LGPL only, correct? Third-party code redistributed by Eclipse (EPL) explicitly excludes LGPL <https://eclipse.org/legal/eplfaq.php#3RDPARTY>. But then I see this: http://boundlessgeo.com/press-release/boundless-ccri-launch-opengeo-suite-geomesa/ Perhaps this will all work out and we can just grab a later version of GeoMesa with 100% Apache redistributability. :-) david.
