Well, here is my confirmation: As an authorized representative of Walkinfo Technology Co., Ltd., I understand that the submitted code to the GDAL project will be contributed under the MIT/X license.

Hi Xian, First, you should check with your employer that you can legally contribute code to the GDAL/OGR project and submit it under the GDAL MIT/X licence. Check the "Legal" section of http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/rfc3_commiters . If this is the case, send an email to this mailing list where you will confirm it. I also suggest that you read the developer guidelines at http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/rfc8_devguide and check that your code conforms to (most of) them. For OGR driver, I would also recommend that you test the driver with the "test_ogrsf" utility (not compiled by default, but in a custom build, you can "cd apps", and then "make test_ogrsf" / "nmake /f makefile.vc test_ogrsf.exe") on sample files in your data format. This will run a few consistency test to check assumptions that an OGR driver should met. Then, you can attach an archive with the code to a Trac ticket ( http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/newticket ), so that it can be reviewed.

[gdal-dev] A new ogr driver
Hi all, I'm planning to submit a new driver for accessing Walk files, a geospatial data format developed by Walkinfo Tech. mainly for land surveying, evaluation, planning, checking and data analysis in China. Walkinfo Tech. is a China-based company founded since 1999, origignally focused on land surveying software research and development. Currently we have our own geographic information platform WalkGIS, as well as scores of GIS desktop, mobile products based on it, including WalkISurvey, WalkISurface, WalkCheck, WalkFu and so on. The company is also the largest strategic partner with Esri ArcGIS in China. The WalkGIS applications use GDAL/OGR as part of its base libaries. The purpose of developing the Walk driver on GDAL/OGR is to allow other GIS products such as ArcGIS to access our data more easily and conveniently. The driver I am working on is already able to get the information such as layers, features, geometries, and spatial references from Walk files. Can I get the permission to submit it to GDAL project and share it with other GDAL developers?
