Hello All, I am writing to seek help with an issue regarding the inclusion of third-party minified JavaScript libraries in Baremaps. Currently, I am unsure of the correct approach to take.
In Baremaps, we currently load maplibre-gl-js from a CDN [1] and maplibre-gl-inspect from the asset directory [2] (it is not distributed on major CDNs). Maplibre-gl-js and maplibre-gl-inspect both have a BSD license and seem compatible with the Apache License. Ideally, we should integrate these assets in Baremaps, so we can display maps without having an internet connection. What do you think? The basemap also requires external libraries such as fonts, glyphs, sprites, etc.) [3], which are currently served with Amazon Cloudfront. As licensing for this kind of assets is complicated, I don’t think we should include them in Baremaps. Is it ok if we prepare the assets in a repository outside of the apache organisation, publish them somewhere (e.g. CDN), reference them in the basemap, and let the user’s browser? If so we should probably indicate that the basemap uses non-free assets. Notice that the basemap is not part of the release. Best, Bertil [1] https://github.com/apache/incubator-baremaps/blob/27d849fa2afdc41d9557b3c06d9a88202179ef64/baremaps-server/src/main/resources/assets/viewer.html#LL15 [2] https://github.com/apache/incubator-baremaps/blob/main/baremaps-server/src/main/resources/assets/maplibre-gl-inspect.js [3] https://github.com/apache/incubator-baremaps/blob/27d849fa2afdc41d9557b3c06d9a88202179ef64/basemap/style.js#L69
