Good morning email list, and Andrew / Janet 

We are indeed setting up to re-license. The RFC is taking shape here: 
http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/display/UDIG/License+Change

And I would indeed like to confirm that this is done correctly, if you spot 
anything we have missed please let me know. The goal is to complete this work 
prior to the Oct 10th meeting.

I had a question around the use of EPL (I know it is your recommended default 
license).

The story we are focused on is ability to transfer small blocks of code down 
into GeoTools when the occasion warrants.
- We have a history of pushing, particularly QA and testing code, closer to 
where the problems occur.
- I have also watched teams rapidly prototyped code in uDig (often for a 
customer / deadline) before transferring the technology to GeoTools in benefit 
from wider community testing.

Q: Is this story possible with EPL, or should we focus on one of the other 
license options?
