| | 21 | '''Why do code suppliers have to accep the Rasdaman Contribution Agreement?''' Because we need to maintain a strict code provenance in order to allow us to rightfully make this code available under the conditions stated above. In other words: should there be some code which conflicts with the GPL / LGPL regulations we claim then you, as a user of rasdaman, would run the risk of possibly getting "infected" by incompatible licenses. Organizations like [[http://www.osgeo.org/ Open Source Geo Foundation, OSGeo] check this for open-source projects, and we indeed are undergoing a detailed provenance review (on single file granularity!) during [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Rasdaman_Incubation_Status rasdaman's OSGeo incubation]. |
