<div>Hey Guys,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you guys are simply reusing the Apache agreement, why not simply suggest that OSGeo establish a formal collaboration with the ASF? Or, if that's too broad, fine, but something work thinking about at least at the project level (aka GeoTools?)</div>

<div>unless there is a change of mind.</div><div><br></div><div>The license agreement wording makes no mention of the license, so it's easy to just take it, replace the parties, and</div><div>re-use it </div><div><br>
