Thank you very much Daniel for summary<br>I'm adding some clarification about ZOO licensing bellow<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
<div class="im">
> 1) Status of ZOO-Kernel release<br>
><br>
> Release day has been set to April 13th for ZOO Kernel, ZOO Services and ZOO<br>
> API and the release number will be 1.0.0 (Gerald) or 1.0 (Nicolas). The<br>
> software license hasn't been 100% clarified, but the companies GeoLabs, and<br>
> ZOO API will be copyright holder.<br>
<br>
</div>As agreed upon in the PSC ML before the March PSC Meeting,<br>
ZOO-Kernel will be licensed under MIT/X11. ZOO-API may<br>
also be released under same MIT/X11 license. Perhaps<br>
copyright holder 3Liz (Nick) can clarify on the ZOO-API<br>
license. Intial copyright holders for ZOO-Kernel would<br>
be GeoLabs (France) and for ZOO-API will be 3Liz (France).<br>
Inclusion of other parties in the copyright will be<br>
discussed in future PSC meetings. PSC may consider and<br>
approve addition or changes of copyright holders in future.<br></blockquote><div><br> <br>ZOO Kernel and ZOO API will be both released under MIT/X-11 according to plans, as Kernel was coded from scratch by GeoLabs, and API was coded from scratch by 3LIZ.<br>
<br>It's true that some parts of the API code (about some formats and features) have been inspired from some OpenLayers parts but the main file of the API (zoo-api.js) has been coded entirely new, with a new logic. Second file of the API (zoo-proj4js.js) is a simple adaptation of proj4js which is release under LGPL. According to the LGPL terms, this file is a derivative work of proj4js and can be included in another licensing, MIT/X-11 for example.<br>
<br>ZOO Services licensing is a bit more tricky, as they are adaptations GDAL/OGR, CGAL, QREncode and OpenOffice which have different licensing. So Gerald and I think that the best thing to do is to keep same license of the initial code (even if they were a bit modified.) This way, ZOO Services won't be forks, and initila author copyright will be also kept.<br>
<br>Best regards<br><br>Nick<br><br><br><br><br><br> <br></div></div>
