Hello Jody,
Timothy and I worked on this project together for the same organisation
(DOV); I believe they are the only ones who own the copyrights on the code.
The problem has been completely resolved now; DOV has signed and
submitted the CLA for the modules that were contributed to geoserver.
Kind Regards
Niels

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

"found code" is for code that is license compatible, but for which

be donated back to GeoTools or otherwise relicensed at a later
stage. So the module needs to be labelled and isolated.
Read carefully the "motivation" for the GSIP, and the proposal
section as well:
https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/wiki/GSIP-186#motivation
So how would I in this particular case deal with these stipulations:
- "The licence is compatible with the GeoServer licence, and clearly
identified both in the source code, in the documentation of the
module, and in the module release zip package":
So can this just be geoserver license? There is no other license
involved.
- The headers from the original files are maintained, and not updated
to indicate (c) OSGeo Foundation.
But the headers already indicate this... Because the code was
explicitly allowed to be donated to geoserver, I added the geoserver
headers. There was never any other release of the code than this one.
Regards
Niels
