[Live-demo] GeoKettle source code

[Daniel Araujo Miranda]

Hello everyone,    I am now under the strong impression that the GeoKettle package in OSGeo-Live violates the GPL in the sense that the source code is unavailable.
    I emailed Thierry Badard about the GeoKettle source code and got no answer. Martin Seterstoen got in touch with me directly and asked me if I had found the source code already because he also could not find it. That person did find the source for an earlier version of GeoKettle.

    I dug further inside the actual OSGeo-Live distribution and found version 2.6 in /usr/local/share/gisvm/bim/install_geokettle.sh at the following url:
  http://download.osgeo.org/livedvd/data/geokettle/geokettle-2.6-r192-with_plugins.zip
The GEOKETTLE_README.txt package inside OSGeo-Live however, mentions only version 2.5.OSGeo-Live's website also lists this package as being version 2.6 of GeoKettle
  https://live.osgeo.org/en/overview/geokettle_overview.html

To sum up:    I can't find the source. I have officially given up looking for it and am now actively poking people to see if it comes out :-)

I would like to ask:0. Please point me to the source if it is available and I have fumbled my google-fu, my find-fu and my grep-fu.
1. Is this list the right place for inquiries about OSGeo-Live packages that might violate the GPL? (in the sense that the source code is unavailable)
2. If so, please take steps to either remove that package from OSGeo-Live or publish the source code somehow. That might be a topic for discussion in the next OSGeo-Live meeting.

 Hello,I apologize in advance if I have missed something obvious, but where is the source code for GeoKettle?
I just picked up geokettle seriously for the first time as a candidate for doing some heavy lifting here at work. After realizing that it has not been updated in three years, I tried to fetch the source code to take a look.
Searching said source code already took more than an hour now. The trac and the forum are offline, the documentation link in the project's homepage is broken and SourceForge only has the packaged application.
It is an amazing project and a worthy part of OSGeo-Live, I'd hate to see it abandoned.

Best,Daniel
