    <p>Hi Jo, <br>
    </p>
    <p>Thank you for your welcome</p>
    <p>For the license we use the Cecill-B witch is basically a BSD
      French adapted, if this is a problem I think we could change to
      BSD.</p>
    <p>In our code files we have never included a license headers I'm
      going to work on this and hopefully get it done next week.<br>
    </p>
    <p>Creating a contributors.md file seems a good idea, I'll work on
      this too.<br>
    </p>
    <p>Tanks for your help, <br>

        <div>Hi Armand,</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>Welcome! I've taken a look at the gitlab repository at <a href="https://gitlab.veremes.net/open-source/vmap" target="_blank">https://gitlab.veremes.net/open-source/vmap</a>
          and checked our guidelines at <a href="https://www.osgeo.org/about/committees/incubation/" target="_blank">https://www.osgeo.org/about/committees/incubation/</a>. </div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>The guidelines for community projects are:
          <ul>
            <li>geospatial<br>
            </li>
            <li>open source license, with source code check of headers</li>
            <li>accepts contributions</li>
          </ul>
          <div>It's definitely geospatial, so that ticks off the first
            item in the list. The license is an unusual one to me, and I

            had to google it, which led me to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CeCILL" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CeCILL</a>.
            People with more experience that I might have a different
            view on this, but I wonder if you should state somewhere the

            difference between your license and BSD/MIT?</div>
          <div><br>
          </div>
          <div>Also, I did a random check of some code in a few folders
            and I couldn't find many files with license headers. Is that

            something you could look at?</div>
          <div><br>
          </div>
          <div>Finally contributions- I can see from the repository
            contributors graph that you have commits from a number of
            people, which is good, but including a contributors.md file
            to help guide new people wanting to commit would be helpful.

            This might be the best place to add some explanation about
            your license.</div>

            <p>Hello,</p>
            <p>Few months ago on the 13th "Jornadas de SIG libre" in
              Girona (Spain) we've make a presentation of our WebGIS
              vMap (<a href="https://vimeo.com/showcase/6126225/video/347719352" target="_blank">https://vimeo.com/showcase/6126225/video/347719352</a>).</p>
            <p>vMap is an OpenSource WebGIS tool based on PostgreSQL /
              PostGIS, you can find more information on the
              documentation <a href="https://vmap.readthedocs.io/en/latest/presentation/presentation/" target="_blank">https://vmap.readthedocs.io/en/latest/presentation/presentation/</a></p>
            <p>At the end of the presentation María Arias de Reyna from
              OSGeo Spain asked me why do not make vMap as an OSGeo
              Community Project and I told her it would be an honor to
              do it. So we start working on traducing the software and
              documentation and searching other companies to share the
              project management.</p>
            <p>Today translation is almost done and a company that work
              mostly on 3D data using lidar and drones wants to join the

              team.<br>
            </p>
            <p>We are really interested on working with OSGeo so I would

              be glad to have your opinion.</p>
