[Live-demo] GEOS image for OSGeo-Live Overview

[Cameron Shorter]

Martin,
Our criteria and checklist for bringing a project into OSGeo-Live are 
linked from here:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc#How_to_add_a_project_to_OSGeoLive

We include applications which can be installed and run, and also include 
descriptions of libraries from OSGeo incubated/incubating projects.

So I see the key criteria for including JTS would be:
1. Does it have a user interface?
2. Or otherwise, is it an OSGeo project?

Others from our team may wish to add further comment or suggestion to this.
