[postgis-users] The first release of the PostGIS Add-ons is out!

[Rémi Cura]

This is not as simple,
Many open source software are not GPL (starting from standard implementing
api ),
including postgres !


GPL is not always the answer, and here I don't think it is.

For me it should be a more open license, and the project should be hosted
on the postgis github.

Cheers,
Rémi-C
