When you speak about spatial toolkit, what do you have exatly in mind ? As you know, I lead the Orekit team, which provides space dynamics and geometry and is Apache licensed. If there are some parts that you could use and would make sense to be in Orekit, just let us know (or yet better, join our community and contribute). I think the dynamics parts (orbit propagation, Jacobians, discrete and continuous evolution, time scales ...) are not of any use for you, but some more specific parts like ground point visibility, sensors fields of view, geometry of an observation could be used by SIS for remote sensing modelization.
