[OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G 2018 sponsorship

Indeed GDAL/OGR uses some ESRI code, example:

https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/blob/a1df7cb9df2fe3cbcfac974b434b01ac6a1946e5/gdal/frmts/mrf/JPEG_band.cpp#L21

 

If you don’t want anyone with competing products, it’ll be a short list, and somewhat difficult to justify (e.g. OSGeo has lots of software that is mostly developed and tested against Oracle’s Java, but Oracle Spatial is an alternative to PostGIS). If you don’t want anyone who does patents, it’ll exclude most of the big IT companies.

 

Is this just an emotive response?
