Hi Everyone,
I hope your week is going well. I have a few questions/topics I wanted
to bring up.
1) Project name
As per:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources/HOWTO/Project_Naming_Policy
"As a defensive measure, the Eclipse Foundation holds the trademark to
the Project names on behalf of the Projects - this prevents companies
from misusing or misrepresenting their products as being the Projects.)
The EMO will initiate a trademark review prior to scheduling a Creation
Review
<http://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources/HOWTO/Creation_Reviews>.
Existing trademarks must be transferred to the Eclipse Foundation
(please see the Trademark Transfer Agreement)
<http://www.eclipse.org/legal/Trademark_Transfer_Agreement.pdf>"
I hope this is OK?
2) Third party software
As you expect, our IP team won't have a mandate to engage until the IWG
is launched and the uDig project proposal submitted. Nevertheless, I
wanted to take a look to understand a bit about the software distributed
in uDig's packaging to educate myself better. Here's a quick method I
used: http://pastebin.com/iBFgFnFb
Aside from Eclipse stuff, I see:
*net.refractions.udig*.* <= is this all code from the uDig project
*eu.udig*.* <= Looks like this was contributed by HydroloGIS, correct?
*Apache*: Ant, Batik, Lucene, Xerces, XML resolver & serializer,
commons, jasper - all under Apache license v2
*w3c*: org.w3c.css.sac and org.w3c.dom events, smil, and svg (W3C
software license)
*javax*: servlet, xml, and servlet.jsp (Apache license v2)
*org.mortbay*: jetty server and util (Apache license v2)
*org.tcat.citd.sim.udig*: bookmarks
*com.ibm*: icu (ICU4J license)
*com.lowagie*: itext (Looks like MPL?)
*com.mapquest*: mq (anyone know what license this is?)
net.refractions.udig.catalog.geotools <= looks like geotools itself is
not actually distributed with udig but instead assumed to be installed
on the box, is this correct? Same with gdal?
Thanks in advance for confirming these important details.
3) Contribution agreements
Has uDig used any sort of contribution agreements?
Best regards,
Andrew
