Hi all,

As I mentioned on the GeoTools/GeoServer call today, the Eclipse 
Foundation is doing a legal review of GeoTools and its transitive 
dependencies.  Jody, Tyler and others have helped extensively with the 
process so far.  Some more questions about ImageIO-Ext have come up...

The questions from Eclipse legal are below.  For the last three, I've 
tried to comment and provide some context.

Thanks in advance,

Jim

1.  Review.apt files;  There are 32 of these files and many of them of
reference data included and the origin of the data.  I've investigated a 
couple
of them and there may be possible issues.  As such, before I dig further, it
would help to understand if your attachment contains the data being 
referenced?
If it does not, we can move forward.  A couple of examples follow:

Example 1
plugin/gdal/gdalenvisat/src/site/apt/review.apt
plugin/gdal/gdalwcs/src/site/apt/review.apt
plugin/gdal/gdalwms/src/site/apt/review.apt

2.  The following files contain copyright to
* (c) 2008 Quality Nighthawk Teleradiology Group, Inc.

plugin/kakadujp2/src/main/java/it/geosolutions/imageio/plugins/jp2k/JP2KKakaduImageWriteParam.java

plugin/kakadujp2/src/main/java/it/geosolutions/imageio/plugins/jp2k/JP2KKakaduImageWriter.java

plugin/kakadujp2/src/main/java/it/geosolutions/imageio/plugins/jp2k/JP2KKakaduImageWriterSpi.java

Are either of you familiar with this copyright holder?  Is this third party
content or was it contributed?  Maybe a question for Simmone....

3.  The content appears to contain content from the following third party
projects (this version):

*Nitro - http://sourceforge.net/projects/nitro-nitf/
*TurboJpeg  - http://sourceforge.net/projects/libjpeg-turbo/
*JMatio - http://sourceforge.net/projects/jmatio/

We may require third party CQs for these - to be advised.  Capturing 
more for
our IP review at this time.

4.  EnhancedRandomAccessFile.java - Do we know where this code initially 
came from?  Can we get more info/approval from Alex McManus?

5.
(Eclipse:) ECW/JP2 CODEC SDK End-User License Agreements (2 copies) - 
ECWEULA.txt - I'm assuming these were included in error?

(My Note:) Is the ECW/JP2 coded shipped with ImageIO-Ext?  Does that 
EULA need to be included or can I sensibly remove it?

6.
(Eclipse) The following file contains, "JPEG2000 driver documented on 
this page (the
JP2KAK driver) is implemented on top of the commercial Kakadu 
library"... Can
you help us understand what this means?

plugin/gdal/gdalkakadujp2/doc/frmt_jp2kak.html

(My note again: Where did the JP2KAK driver come from?  Any worries there?)
