Have been reading the code contribution aggreement. Seems like our legal department at Lantmäteriet needs to take a look at it before we sign. Andrea mentioned that it perhaps was not needed for community modules, is there anyone that can clearify this?
Another question that came up reading the document is the mapcache format status. ESRI is documenting it at their website, so it seems open enough. http://blogs.esri.com/Dev/blogs/arcgisserver/archive/2008/01/31/Deconstructing-the-map-cache-tiling-scheme-_2800_Part-II_29003A00_-Working-with-map-caches-programmatically.aspx What are the experiences reading an publishing/distributing readers for different kind of formats ArcSDE, Oracle and so forth considering legal matters?

The GeoToolsAssignmentToOSGeo.pdf file contains instructions for getting along well with the OSGeo foundation (we basically need to send them paper work covering a code contribution agreement - for either yourself or your employer - or both!).
