Hi, I was wondering if you considered switching to GPLv3 for the license of OJ 1.3? I ask because we made a small piece of code that allows to use GeOxygene features in OJ and to transform OJ features back to GeOxygene. This code makes it easy to create GeOxygene plugins for OJ, but our problem ri

Hi London, the chapter I wrote is only a part of all the process to create a portable GIS station (Pen Drive, CD or DVD). I also ported as portable Kosmo and gvSIG amd ImageJ, all using the same JRE machine - and so saving space. All the tecnic should work with all java software. I also created

Stefan, I can try to help out with the two or three bugs you mentioned. (I think it will be unlikely that I can get the new GML reader for OJ I was thinking about done in time for the new release.) Let me look at the bugs in detail later this week, and I will let you know which one I pick for my

Julien made an interesting request that we relicenze OpenJUMP under the GPL version 3. I wanted to discuss this request in a separate thread, because I think it is a very important discussion. My first question would be: Do we have the authority to relicense OpenJUMP? I would think this authority

Hei Julien, 1. I get back to you if I studied the GPL 3 issue. But I can't promise anything and this has to be a community decision. It will require changes to almost all files and I also need to check if the original VividSolutions contributions could be changed to V3. 2. on the translation,

Hei short answer. If the current license contains the text "or later versions of the GPL X.X" then we can switch to V3. I think. But I need to do a bit of reading on fsf.org pages and in the source code license annotations. stefan Sunburned Surveyor wrote: > Julien made an interesting request

True, "or later versions of the GPL X.X" is the backdoor for newer GPL licences with more up to date legal definitions and regulations in the old GPL. But ... once licensed eg. 3.0 , there is no way back anymore ... without asking all copyright holders (code contributors). This becomes especial

I think Stefan is correct. We need a good reason to switch the license version. I also don't think the permission from just Vivid Solutions is sufficient. There have been a lot of other people contributing code to OJ. Our project doesn't require contributors to transfer copyright or the authority
