[gdal-dev] FileGDB API beta opens

[Matt Wilkie]

Hi All,

The File Geodatabase API - Beta is now open. [1] Accessing the api 
download and fgdb-api forum requires an ESRI global account (free). The 
licensing agreement is voluminous, almost 5 thousand words.[2] I've 
scanned through it as best I could looking for show-stoppers. I don't 
_think_ I saw any; more eyes should have a look to make sure. There are 
phrases like "Licensee may not share or release Feedback or results of 
Beta testing with any third party." which could be constricting.
