I think we have to decide how to go on. 1) I sent the db2 license to Adrian and he responded that it is not possible to put the jars in the maven rep. I do not know why but I am not a license expert. 2) Since the oracle jar causes the same problem and there is a workaround described in the deve

Thanks for the research. We can't distribute that binary in Geotools. So either we lobby IBM to get them to change or we hack a dummy jar like all the other drivers. The latter is liable to be infinitely easier. Someday they will learn. --adrian On Wed, 2008-06-11 at 09:08 -0700, mcr wrote: >

Hey both, Glad to hear you may have a resolution for this. However, we really can't just operate on "I think"; we are going to have to find the page that gives us permission, and copy the key language into a README or LICENSE file near that jar to show why we think we have the right to distribut

I got a positive mail form David. It is possible to put the db2 driver jars in the maven repository. I did a download since I have a IBM developer login. Who is able to include these 3 jars in the repo, I would send a zip file including the jars. --- David ---

Hey, calm down. Since I am the developer of this module I want to get some things clear. 1) This module is intended to give geotools the same capabilities for image handling as ARCSDE does. 2) This module will support any jdbc database capable of handling BLOBs, additionally supporting ths spatia

We can imagine a number of reasons why an JDBC Mosaic other then PostGrid is wanted. It could be lighter, target a wider range of database backend, apply mosaic without the restriction on integral subsampling (this is a balance between memory usage, performance, capability to handle arbitrary sc

Quoting your words one could say that Postgrid is a project that runs outside the GeoTools SVN and which is managed by what seems to be a subset of the geotools developers, hence it is not receiving enough feedback from the remaining geotools developers. Therefore we cannot trust it like we would
