[Live-demo] Licence documentation

Fri, 29 Jan 2010 17:14:02 -0800

Hi,
One of the important things we didn't cover in the last release was an audit of licences for each project, which is quite important for many people.

I've addressed this by specifying a licence template, as mentioned below, and updating our build process. http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Build#Licence_Doc

I encourage review comments, before we ask all projects to fill in details for their project.
Template is below:



Project Licence Notes Povidence Review
Project name and Link to the project home page Accronym for Licence (eg GPL) and Link to Project License Description. Preference is to point to Projects page describing the licence, but can point to Open Software Initiative definition of Licences instead. If a project is released under 2 or more licences, then create a new table row for each licence. Add any clarifications, or exceptions to licence here Link to OSGeo Providence Review if exists. (This is one of the artifacts of OSGeo Incubation)
GeoServer GPL None None
deegree LGPL None http://wiki.deegree.org/deegreeWiki/OSGeoIncubationCodeProvenanceReviewReport
