Hi,<br>
One of the important things we didn't cover in the last release was an
audit of licences for each project, which is quite important for many
people.<br>
<br>
I've addressed this by specifying a licence template, as mentioned
below, and updating our build process.
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Build#Licence_Doc">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Build#Licence_Doc</a><br>
<br>
I encourage review comments, before we ask all projects to fill in
details for their project.<br>
Template is below:<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<table border="1" cellpadding="1">
<tbody>
<tr>
<th>Project</th>
<th>Licence</th>
<th>Notes</th>
<th>Povidence Review</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Project name and Link to the project home page</td>
<td>Accronym
for Licence (eg GPL) and Link to Project License Description.
Preference is to point to Projects page describing the licence, but can
point to Open Software Initiative definition of Licences instead. If a
project is released under 2 or more licences, then create a new table
row for each licence.</td>
<td>Add any clarifications, or exceptions to licence here</td>
<td>Link to OSGeo Providence Review if exists. (This is one of
the artifacts of OSGeo Incubation)</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><a href="http://geoserver.org">GeoServer</a></td>
<td><a href="http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/License">GPL</a></td>
<td>None</td>
<td>None</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><a href="http://www.deegree.org/">deegree</a></td>
<td><a href="http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/lgpl.html">LGPL</a></td>
<td>None</td>
<td><a
href="http://wiki.deegree.org/deegreeWiki/OSGeoIncubationCodeProvenanceReviewReport">http://wiki.deegree.org/deegreeWiki/OSGeoIncubationCodeProvenanceReviewReport</a></td>
