org.geotools.referencing ------------------------ * Most files have dual copyright (Geotools PMC first, IRD second). Some files have "Fishery and Ocean Canada" as third copyright holder. * It may be possible for me to get IRD to officially donate the code to OSGeo (not sure, but I could try). Maybe we should change "(C) Geotools PMC" to "(C) OSGeo" first, and then I negotiate with IRD in order to get the legal papers signed? However I already know the question they are going to ask me: how can IRD get their contribution (as hours of paid work) be recognized? They are basically just asking for some raisonably visible place where their contribution is mentionned (don't know how visible it must be, but a deep corner in some obscur wiki page may not be enough). * Note sure I can join anyone at "Fishery and Ocean Canada" for doing the same there, but I could check after IRD. * Some files contains code from Proj4 (all of them are in ...referencing.operation.projection package). The Proj4 copyright header is already copied below the Geotools copyright header in the source files. We need (maybe by a layer) to verify if the Proj4 license conflict with the LGPL license (Proj4 license is opensource, but do we need to distribute the projection files under an other license than LGPL?). Frank Warmerdam could probably answer since he is the Proj4 maintainer :). * The GeodeticCalculator class contains code from NOAA, which is an US government agency I believe. The NOAA code is already flagged by comments in the source file (with the FTP adress where is come from). I have been unable to find a license on NOAA web site, other than a sentence saying that the code is in the public domain. * Referencing-3D would contains code from http://earth-info.nima.mil/GandG/wgs84/gravitymod/. The only "license-like" info I found up to date is the sentence "Both the EGM96 and the WGS 84 geoid height files and coefficient files have associated software and documents. They are available for unlimited distribution" in the above-cited page. If anyone as suggestion about how I should work the LICENSE.txt file in the referencing-3D module, it would be appreciated. * Some javadoc sentences are adapted from GeoAPI javadoc. org.geotools.coverage --------------------- * Contains dual copyright ("IRD" after "(C) Geotools", something "Fishery and Ocean Canada" in addition) like the referencing module. I may try to get the code donated together with the one from the referencing module. * Some javadoc sentences are adapted from GeoAPI javadoc. * No other IP issues I can think right now. The situation may be more complex after the coverage branch merge.
