Hello
I noticed new test files in the following directory:
storage/sis-shapefile/src/test/resources/org/apache/sis/storage/shapefile/
I noticed a NOTES.md file (thanks), but I did not saw licence
information in that file. What are the license of those new
"DEPARTEMENT" files? (and the license for the other, older files too?)
Is it a licence compatible with the Apache License?
An other issue is that "DEPARTEMENT.SHP" is 3 Mb, which is a lot for
just a test file (if it was data needed for application execution, it
would be a different story). Would it be possible to have a much smaller
test file? We rarely need more than a few kb for testing, except if we
want to test scalability (but I think that discussion about scalability
could be another thread). It may also help to avoid licensing issues if
we use a subset small enough for being considered "fair use". For
example in the GR3DF97A.txt test file that I committed this week, I
extracted only a few lines. The resulting test file is only 2 kb.
Small test files are appreciated because they are included in the ZIP
files that make official Apache releases (the JAR deployed on Maven
Central are not official releases - just commodity), and also for making
history smaller (the SVN is mirrored on GitHub, so even if we delete the
file, its weight will stay in the history).
