Even pointed me at further discussion about this issue: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=geotools-administration&max_rows=25&style=nested&viewmonth=201207
For people outside of the geotools community, such as the board, I think it would be helpful to explain why some PSC members might object to a license change. And the obvious question which hasn't seemed to be touched on is whether a dual license would be acceptable? I get the feeling that there are bigger implications than just a license change which have not been publicly verbalised, and I think it would help to get these out in the open. * In particular, it seems that core to this discussion is the relationship between OSGeo and LocationTech, along with business implications associated with that. * A board decision related to geotools will likely have implications on similar discussions likely to happen for other OSGeo projects.
