Hello all<br>
<br>
I'm not sure if this is the right mailing list, but no other list
come to my mind right now...<br>
<br>
A few months ago, I started to provide examples of GeoAPI
implementations in the public domain
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.geoapi.org/geoapi-examples">http://www.geoapi.org/geoapi-examples</a>). The hope is to encourage
GeoAPI adoption by allowing any implementors, open source or
commercial, to take inspiration from this code with no obligation at
all, not even obligation to acknowledge the borrowing/copying in any
way. Many of those examples are derived and simplified from
Geotoolkit.org code and put in the public domain by ourselves, since
we wrote that code.<br>
<br>
However now I would like to copy some portions of code that I wrote
in Geotools time, for example AffineTransform2D (not the full class,
only portions of it). This code is copyrighted Osgeo. Consequently,
I would like Osgeo permission to copy in the public domain (no
copyright holder) small portion of Geotoolkit.org code inherited
from Geotools 2.6. I would like to stress out the following points:<br>
<br>
<ul>
<li>The code that I want to copy was fully writen by myself - they
were no contributor other than myself as far as I know.</li>
<li>The copyright owner of that Geotools 2.6 code is Osgeo, and
only Osgeo.</li>
<li>The target "relicensing" (not a real license) is public
domain.</li>
</ul>
<p><br>
Do I have Osgeo permission to publish in public domain derivative
work of AffineTransform2D, GeneralMatrix, GeneralDirectPosition
and similar "simple" classes writen by myself?<br>
</p>
<p> Regards,<br>
