Thanks - that would seem like a good way to go in the future, though I
don't have time to work on it myself...<br>

As I understand it, the BSD license allows free distribution and use of
source code and binaries, with or without modifications. The only
caveats are that (a) you mustn't remove the copyright notices from the
source code, (b) you must acknowledge the copyright somewhere in the
documentation of your library / app that uses the code, and (c) you
mustn't assert that the author of the original code endorses the
derived library / application. Is this compatible with the GDAL
license? Maybe the google people would be flexible if it isn't?<br>
<br>
Wouldn't this make a perfect Google Summer of Code project? Can someone
add it to the GDAL SoC ideas page?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

<pre wrap="">I don't know what KMZ support is in the current GDAL KML but I
downloaded the libKml package from <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://code.google.com/p/libkml/">http://code.google.com/p/libkml/</a> and
it has KMZ support built in. If anyone was going to look at an update
for GDAL / OGR they might want to look at that library. The notes on
the website indicate that libKml is "an implementation of the candidate
OGC KML 2.2 standard".
A potential snag is that the Google library is under the BSD open source
license. I don't keep track of the differences in license types so I
can't say if one is better than the other.

Subject: Re: [gdal-dev] KMZ Support in OGR?
Simon,
I'm not sure whether the zip file record structure is implemented in
zlib or not. If the latter is the case implementing this would be
slightly beyond the scope of GDAL. There are several projects out
there to provide such API for various kind of languages.
Best regards,
Tamas

Does the OGR KML driver support reading and/or writing of KMZ files?
