I got a problem: http://www.geotools.com/ Of course I will need to ask the list if this is indeed a problem.
As it is I am would like to try an approach the company in question, and have included a sample letter and would not mind assistence in phrasing things nicely. Jody Here is a sample letter: ---------------------------------- Good Morning Geotools, I am a member of a long standing open source project of the name GeoTools. The project has existed some time before the creation of your division and I would like to confirm that you are aware of us and check that we are not in conflict. I only learned of Geotools Corporation accidently through a web search. I am used to small projects and conferences sharing a name with us on occasion, this is the first company I have run into with an overlap. I am approaching you at this time as I do some background research for an IP check with respect to the newly formed Open Source Geospaital Foundation. For more information: - http://geotools.org/ - https://www.osgeo.org/ We are an international organization that meets via IRC. My first choice would be to ask you or your repsentative to attend a meeting. Failing that we will need to ask for someone in your timezone to contact you. To attend an IRC meeting please follow the instructions on this page: - http://www.geotools.org/display/GEOT/3.1+Internet+Relay+Chat Sincerly, Jody Garnett GeoTools Project Management Committe ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
