Hi,
I consulted internally and here is the text I was given:

Andrea,
Unfortunately we have no plans to deliver further work on JAI. We don’t
have plans to re-host the source code now that the previous location,
java.net <http://java.net>, is no longer available. If we got many more
requests as yours it might be possible that we would find a new home for
the previously open-sourced code but always under the prior license.
The due-diligence work to determine if it could be open sourced under a
different license will not be resourced.

Hi Phil,
sorry for the late follow up, and thanks a lot for your answer, it's
quite encouraging.
Where do I download JAI sources these days... humm... don't know
honestly, I have downloaded
the sources 10+ years ago and used it since :-)
About "proper" open source licence, since it's a library, it would be
great if the licence was not viral.
Ideally something widely compatible, like modified BSD or Apache 2, I
guess GPL with classpath
exception would do as well.
Thanks a lot for taking an interest in it, I understand there can be
difficulties, especially
on a project this old
Cheers
Andrea

Hi Andrea,
From where are you downloading the JAI source these days ?
I assume GPL of some flavour would satisfy being a "proper" open
source license.
I will pass this request up the chain to see if there is any
interest in doing it, but can make no promises.

Hi,
Java Advanced Imaging has been unsupported for a long time, but
it's still the best Java based
image processing library (at least for large imagery cases, the
tiled based, deferred computation
approach is something software in other languages is still
copying today).
Its complete pluggability also makes it very easy to replace old
buggy operations with newer ones, which is
something done in open source projects like jai-ext:
https://github.com/geosolutions-it/jai-ext
<https://github.com/geosolutions-it/jai-ext>
However, its license is still a problem, it is not considered
proper open source.
Ideally all the Java portion would be useful, but in case that is
a problem, just getting the interfaces relicenced
would be of great help.
So, is there anyone we could talk to about JAI relicencing? If
more than one person/company needs to be
contacted I'm happy to reach out, just need to get some contacts.
Best regards
Andrea Aime
