As Robert = pointed out, we are likely axing the module in question anyway (and that = was started before this thread) One other thing to suggest: Perhaps someone should just ask JTS if they = would switch to a compatible license and put out a release under the new = license? Obviously the code would still need to be vetted, but it = would at least show that the author is willing to help it get used at = the ASF. -Grant= --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: legal-discuss-unsubscribe@apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: legal-discuss-help@apache.org
