Hello All I'm Steve the student participating in Gsoc with the OSGeo4W project. These last weeks I was with my mentor Frank Warmerdam, who helped me to solve several problems during the build of the setup.exe and I thank his help.
Now Gsoc has begun, I have several tasks in my proposal, I really like and would appreciate some suggestions regarding the project "Extend OSGeo4W". One task I have to do is "Ask for Agreement" to comunity which involves it: - Defining, documenting and getting agreement from the OSGeo4W community in order to represent the license request. - Implementing the actual question in the software installer with many dialogs for the new packages. The new OSGeo4W installer will be extended to include a way of providing a textual license agreement(User license Policy) in order to accept the licensing agreements so in particular package such as the ECW imagery library, ESRI File GeoDatabase and Oracle OCI libraries which are private software and incompatible with the Non-reciprocal MIT/X open source license of GADL/OSGeo. We will include libraries with a license category(reciprocal,non-reciprocal and proprietary). I really apreciate your feedback and input, you can see in more detail at http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/proposal/review/google/gsoc2013/stonescenter/19002. Next days I will post a trac wiki page of the project.
