[OSGeo-Discuss] GRASS vs OpenJump

[Noli Sicad]

Sure, Go ahead. So you want some programming challenges rather than
using of the GRASS application. GRASS and QGIS are all GPL. The
functions of the "GRASS GIS modules" are not patented so you can copy
the ideas and implement the functionability to OpenJump. I think there
is no problem with what you intend to do.
