Yes, the license is the same (LGPL 2.1) and the copyright owner the same as well (OSGEO), so at least there is no licensing barrier at this time. I would like to upgrade the license to LGPL 3 however, but since the copyright is owned by OSGEO, only OSGEO can give the autorization of doing so. I plan to ask them that authorization. A few time ago, the idea of upgrading GeoTools to LGPL 3 was floating around as well (for compatibility with Apache licenses). Martin |
