Tika Team,

I'm finally coming back to this thread and getting Apache NiFi all
caught up with the latest Tika-Core and Tika-Parsers version.

I am back to looking at the GeoAPIs 3.0.0 stuff which as you mentioned
the license is ok.  It does, however, have a transitive dependency on
'JSR 275 0.9.3' library.  The license for this was much harder to find
but this appears to be it [1] and it appears decided un-ASF friendly
to me. Can you please clarify why this library is ok to use?  I'm just
trying to get our L&N done for NiFi so want to understand how this is
ok.  I was not able to find anything in the Legal discuss/JIRA for
this.

Here is the GeoAPIs team talking about this dependency and what they
will do with it [2, 3].

[1] https://github.com/unitsofmeasurement/jsr-275/blob/0.9.3/LICENSE.txt
[2] https://osgeo-org.atlassian.net/browse/GEO-190
[3] https://github.com/opengeospatial/geoapi/issues/8

Thanks
Joe
