[Gvsig_english] gvSIG 2.0 and sextante?

[Rahkonen Jukka]

Hi,

I have nothing to say about the license debate but quite a many sites in the web claim that SEXTANTE is using GPL2, including this one:
http://www.sextantegis.com/index.html

I guess it is MIT now. It is hard to update the whole Internet but perhaps some most obvious sites could me made to spread correct information?

Alvaro said), you didn't want anything created by the gvSIG
association to not be GPL. So instead, of contributing to  SEXTANTE,
you wrote your own geoprocessing API and wrote your new geprocesses
for your API instead of directly for SEXTANTE.

> So, in the end, the reason why we do not have those geoprocesses in
the official SEXTANTE bindings is a matter of licenses, because, if
you were happy with the SEXTANTE license, I suppose you would have
contributed those new algorithms to SEXTANTE (as far as I understand,
the gvSIG project had no other reason for forking SEXTANTE than the
license issue, right?). There is already an app-specific package with
algorithms such as those ones, that only run on gvSIG and are not
generic, so that wouldn't be a problem

> Ideally, the changes you made for the new geoprocessing framework in
2.0 should be on SEXTANTE, having new bindings for 2.0 (and maybe
other changes that could benefit other applications), but the lack of
understanding between both projects lead to this. And that lack of
understanding was caused by a license issue...
