As I understand it, Mark's employer (university) would not let him release the work as GPL-compatible. Otherwise the module would have replaced r.los in the main GRASS source distribution years ago, and their institution would have been cited many many times from it, but oh well, he tried a number of times to convince them. Considering universities like Johns Hopkins and Columbia literally generate billions of dollars licensing IP (typically bio-med), and how underfunded most educational institutions are, you can understand a bit why the suits at other universities around the world have a hard time seeing very far past the $ signs for anything and everything. :-/ Hamish _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list grass-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
