-------------------------------------

             Summary: Clarify license of 52n-wps-client-lib
                 Key: TAVERNA-1004
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAVERNA-1004
             Project: Apache Taverna
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Taverna Plugin GIS
            Reporter: Edi Karadumi
            Priority: Critical


52n-wps-client-lib from 52North has GNU General Public License Version 2 as 
stated in the link below:

https://github.com/52North/WPS

52North licensing section (http://52north.org/about/licensing) mentions that 
the licenses are changing from GPL to Apache in the future developments, but it 
is not clear if this library's license might change and when.

In addition, it depends on other libraries 

52n-wps-io - Apache v2 license
52n-wps-io-impl - GPL v2 license
52n-wps-io-geotools - GPL v2 license
52n-xml-wps-v100 -  GPL v2 license

I have already contacted the 52North Geoprocessing community and I am waiting 
for an answer. I am testing the library without using the 52-wps-io-geotools 
dependency as it is only used in the examples, and I am calculating the efforts 
needed to do a custom implementation of 52n-wps-io-impl.
