Hi all,
Separate from the licensing, I believe that ElasticSearch uses Guava
18. GeoTools and GeoServer uses version 17.
Does ElasticGeo work with Guava 17?
Cheers,
Jim

Jody,
Thanks for your quick response. It does sound like a pain. I'll look
into the CLA.

You can see the language used here -

Indeed we tried to make our demo code public domain, but because
that was not a license it made it even harder for people to use.
We now have our demo code as BSD.

It has been done before in the geotools library. Mostly for us
government employees who's work is in the public domain (since
it was paid for by the people).
Please understand that public domain is an alternative to
copyright - not an alternative to having a license. Indeed
copyright is the stick we use to enforce our open source license.
I cannot remember the details now but you basically put your
contribution into the public domain and we pick it up
(changing the packages and so on becoming contributors and
donating it to the geotools project).
So this is really not a lot of fun; do you have a legal
requirement to use the public domain? Or are you just looking
for an alternative to your employer signing a code
contribution agreement?

Is it possible to make a public domain contribution to
GeoTools and GeoServer without a CLA? I'm interested in
contributing an Elasticsearch plugin
(https://github.com/ngageoint/elasticgeo
<https://github.com/ngageoint/elasticgeo>), which is
licensed based on the GeoTools (LGPL) and GeoServer (GPL)
components. My contributions to the plugin are public
domain. I can reach out to the list again in a separate
thread on whether this would be welcome and what would be
required from a technical perspective but wanted to start
with this question first.
