A couple of modules have already encountered issues, mostly those working with propiatary systems such as ArcSDE or Oracle where our ability to distribute jars and drivers is in question.
 
 
 
=== Actions ===
 
The following actions have been taken in response to issues raised during the iccubation process.
 
 
 
==== Turning Off Downloads ====
 
 
 
After a public email on the GeoServer list, we have chosen to turn off historical downloads of the geotools platform, and produced a new download that does not contain ArcSDE support.
 
 
 
We may choose to turn historical downloads on again, or issue a patch for each stable branch, depending on community needs and involvement.
 
 
 
==== Contact EPSG Provideers ====
 
 
 
Frank was kind enough to contact the prociders of the EPSG dataset and inform them of our difficulties in delivering the content verbatium for databases such as HSQL.
 
 
 
==== Multi License code ====
 
 
 
Some code has been donated to the the project under a range of conditions, we have chosen to include the appropriate information in a series of LICENSE.TXT files included with each binary.
 
 
 
We will review these files to discuss any specific needs that must be addressed in client application code, or included documentation:
 
- The Developers Guide will credit each license
 
- The Developers Guide will be packaged and included with each release
 
- An About class will be created, and make a vailable a list of licenses, allowing client applications the ability to pop up a Swing Dialog as needed, or make use of their own presentation layer (say J2EE or SWT application.
