Niels the trouble is one of the contributors does not have a CLA on file with OSGeo. We need to look up this individuals name so we can stop being vague on this topic.
@author Timothy De Bock - timothy.debock.git...@gmail.com So if you want you can update the headers to say (based on Timothy's linked in profile): - (c) OSGeo and others - (c) OSGeo and Geo Solutions; or - (c) OSGeo and Department of RWO; or - (c) OSGeo and Department of DOV Thank you for your patience on this topic; I want to be clear as others trying to figure this out the future can learn from this common example. So two options: a) the code was written by you (does not seem correct), and you have signed an OSGeo CLA (true), we bring it is as an extension like normal b) the code was written by you and Timothy (or his employer, or on behalf of a customer), we update the header to say "(c) OSGeo and others" and include a LICENSE.md and NOTICE.md file in the extension folder Aside I think you intended to link to https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/wiki/GSIP-212 and https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/wiki/GSIP-211 -- Jody Garnett On May 10, 2022 at 11:56:28 AM, Niels Charlier <ni...@scitus.be> wrote: > > On 10/05/2022 11:24, Andrea Aime wrote: > > "found code" is for code that is license compatible, but for which we have > no CLA on record, meaning we cannot mix it with other code that might > be donated back to GeoTools or otherwise relicensed at a later stage.
