Hi,

JTS is dual-licensed under:
- Eclipse Public License 2.0
- Eclipse Distribution License 1.0 (a BSD Style License)

This second licence, if BSD style, should normally be compatible with the GPL one.

hey All,

just noticed that locationtech relicensed JTS to EPL2, which as far as i read 
it is incompatible to the GPL (any version). 
https://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-2.0/faq.php#h.mz8pxljvc07w
the mentioned "Exhibit A — Form of Secondary Licenses Notice" seems to be empty 
in JTS' version of the license
   https://github.com/locationtech/jts/blob/master/LICENSE_EPLv2.txt
note we are not allowed to relicense JUMP code to something other than a later 
GPL version.

Geotools being LGPL'd seems to be compatible, so they didn't run into problems 
here

i'll CC Jody, maybe he can shed some light.
