I have included a review.txt file in your DB2 module, I noticed that all headers are marked as (C) Copyright IBM Corporation, 2005. All rights reserved.
Is this code something you wish the geotools community to take responsibility for distributing? "All rights reserved" may prove interesting for that .... I am unsure if the GeoTools PMC requires assignment of copyright or not? The developers guide is fairly clear on the header used for library code, but perhaps something was negotiated with James when I was not paying attention. If so we need to update the developers guide ... On the pragmatic side the only reasons I can think to address this is if the GeoTools PMC wants to either relicense, or assign copyright to others. We are considering assigning the copyright to the OSGEO Foundation, and you have mentioned that you may prefer a different license in the past. Mentioned in the review.txt is the possibility of IBM donating the code/copyright to OSGEO formally for a bit of PR as geotools works through incubation. From my perspective the code is compatible in license, and I am fairly content. As long as all content is under the same license as a courtesy to library users. I do not wish users of the geotools library to negotiate several licenses if we can avoid it. Thanks also for making a stub jar so that we can seamless included DB2 in our build and release cycles. We will need to explore the answers to the above questions in the next couple months. I would like to have a game plan in place and the GeoTools library moving along in through incubation, before chatting face to face with other in OSGEO during FOSS4G in September.
