[Fwd: [AGG] Forking Vector-Agg?]

[Stephen Woodbridge]

FYI. many of you might not be on the AGG list and this seems like we 
might want to get our 2 cents into it also.

It seems a number of people rely on AGG for various uses, including 
other free source projects.  If the licensing issues cannot be resolved, 
perhaps a free source version of AGG can be developed elsewhere, perhaps 
taking in contributions from the many people who are using it now?

I am aware of two free source projects that use AGG
Haiku - a desktop Operating System (haiku.com): will be forking the code 
for future use.
Haiku is MIT licensed or similar free licenses (BSD, MIT, public domain)
Matplotlib - Python library for graphics 
(http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/): will continue with 2.4 for now
Matplotlib is almost MIT licensed

Couple that with other projects (including commercial ones) that use 
AGG, maybe setting up a separate place for the development of the free 
source version might be useful?  It's just an idea.  I would suspect 
that Haiku has the largest stake in/need for AGG, and since they are 
planning to fork it, maybe that would be a good place to start.

If the license can't be resolved, I don't suppose you all would consider 
this option?
