I would like to remove the following package from Geotools:

http://javadoc.geotools.fr/snapshot/org/geotools/nature/package-summary.html

and give it to the JScience project instead (http://www.jscience.org). Those 
classes are not used 
anywhere in Geotools. They are about Earth Sciences (oceanography) and 
astronomy, which is out of 
the scope of a GIS library. The JScience project seems a more appropriate home 
for them.

However, JScience uses a BSD-like license. Since the above-cited classes are 
Copyright Geotools PMC, 
I ask authorization from Geotools PMC to relicense the org.geotools.nature 
package from LGPL to BSD 
in order to transfert it to the JScience project.

Do we have a majority? I'm +1.

        Martin.
