A package would be fantastic. I'm using Kubuntu on many machines. I love the idea of piping liblas output into r.in.xyz. xyz has proved to be an incredibly powerful and time saving tool. Liblas also with respect to processing las files. Very cool stuff. A link between the two would be superb!<br>

<br>
a few questions:<br>
<br>
- I would like to see liblas 1.0 packaged for Debian. Over at the<br>
DebianGIS project* we can host and help develop the build rules in our<br>
SVN, and give you access to the brains a number of experienced Debian<br>
developers, but before we can do that a question about the license..<br>
[*] <a href="http://wiki.debian.org/DebianGis" target="_blank">http://wiki.debian.org/DebianGis</a><br>
<br>
- your LICENSE.txt looks fine, but the original lastools license does not.<br>
Specifically it lacks any permission to use, modify, or redistribute the<br>
code. All it says is that they hope it will be useful. Is there an email<br>
archived somewhere by Martin Isenburg which states the code is BSD?<br>
Without that the vetting crew at Debian will immediately cry foul.<br>
<br>
- Any news or ideas on OGR integration?<br>
<br>
- My current plans for liblas is to use las2txt to pipe data directly<br>
into the GRASS GIS r.in.xyz module*, I think that's a trivial task. So<br>
far that module has worked very well for very large ascii xyz datasets<br>
(92GB LIDAR data file, 2.4 billion data points; statistically binned<br>
raster surface in 4.5hrs) Now folks ask to use it directly with LAS<br>
data....<br>

<br>
<br>
thanks for any ideas,<br>
